Who We Are
Restaurant Consulting Group (RCG) was established in 2005 to assist local restaurateurs in optimizing their financial resources and enhancing their competitiveness within an industry built on the smallest margins. As a cooperative of independent restaurant owners, RCG collaborates to procure the products and services required at volume discounts typically reserved for large multi-unit restaurant chains.
RCG’s mission is to empower these independents by providing them with the purchasing power necessary to achieve “chain volume pricing” while preserving their independence.
With a rapidly expanding customer base and an increasing number of vendors eager to partner with RCG, the organization has achieved significant success. RCG is committed to delivering exceptional programs and providing world-class customer service to its valued members.
Purchasing Power
How can local restaurant owners compete with the purchasing power of national chains? These chains have pooled resources, strategic partnerships, and national advertising dollars. They have national contracts with vendors and guaranteed pricing.
As owner operators, we have observed the annual increase in protein, produce, dairy and labor costs. We have also witnessed the intensifying competition on every street corner, which has further reduced our margins.
We conceived the idea of pooling our purchasing power together to gain leverage with manufacturers and lower our costs. By joining our group of other RCG customers, you can negotiate the lowest possible purchasing price for your business, thereby improving your bottom line. By leveraging the collective power of many, we provide the independent operator with the purchasing power of a major chain.
