Better Together: the Benefits of Partnership

At King’s Hawaiian, we know that solid foodservice partnerships can be the difference between an operation being “okay” versus excellent. But don’t just take our word for it. We asked a handful of our national chain operator partners to weigh-in about what they value most in their relationships with suppliers:

  • CONSISTENCY AND STABILITY

    From competitive pricing and bulk discounts to timely deliveries and fewer supply chain disruptions, good relationships with suppliers can smooth out issues and maintain the high standards of your offerings.

  • THOUGHT LEADERSHIP AND SUPPORT

    Partners who know their products inside and out and can offer insights, inspiration, and ideation to operators as part of the deal, collaborating with you to go above and beyond the product.

  • ADDED VALUE

    Customer needs are always changing, but high-quality products that elevate your offerings and taste great are always seen as “worth it”.

  • TRUST AND COMMUNICATION

    An open and responsive point of contact makes all the difference in building long-term success together.

  • THAT ELUSIVE “EXTRA MILE”

    This could be culinary innovation sessions, LTO recipe ideation, or a deep dive into a city or region to explore the hottest food scenes, building rapport and friendship along the way.

In other words

At King’s Hawaiian, our partnerships go beyond simply providing products; they build relationships*: When we partner together…

You have all-in support.
