We’ve had a busy year! What about you? Whether you’re a distributor, a restaurant, or just someone who loves seeing the gears of the food supply chain in motion, we thought we’d share a little highlight reel.
Here’s our 2024 Wrapped – a look back at some of the moments that made this year one to remember.
Over 100 new distributors are now powered by Cut+Dry💥
We were thrilled to welcome 100+ new distributor partners to the Cut+Dry family this year, bringing us to 160+! And that includes some real big-wigs in the industry. Think names like What Chefs Want, Harbor Foodservice and Cheney Brothers Inc. With every new distributor who hops on board, we’re making it easier for restaurants to get the products they need quickly, efficiently, and without any old-school headaches.
To all our new partners: We’re excited to have you with us! And to those who’ve been with us for the long haul: Thanks for being the backbone of what we do. Together, we’re redefining what “business as usual” means in the Foodservice industry.
$100 Million a Month? That’s a Lot of Orders 🍽️💸
Our platform saw some serious action this year! We’re now processing a whopping $100 million every month. That includes orders and payments – and each one tells a story of streamlined transactions, fewer errors, and happy customers on both ends.
Restaurants are getting their deliveries faster, and distributors are closing deals more efficiently. The result? Everyone’s time and money are saved, and there are way fewer headaches caused by spreadsheets or lost invoices. That’s what we call a win-win.
Here’s to every transaction that made up those millions – the late-night orders, the early-morning deliveries, and all the behind-the-scenes magic that kept your kitchens and warehouses humming.
New Features, Same Mission: Making Your Life Easier 🚀
We’re obsessed with making sure our platform works for you, not the other way around. This year, we rolled out dozens of new product features designed to make your daily grind a little smoother.
Some of the game-changers from 2024 include:
- AI Order Desk – This feature is all about streamlining your order management. AI Order Desk lets you receive orders through various channels and automatically captures all the details and sends them directly to your ERP. You save time, money and headaches!
- Enhanced Shopping Experience - we released several new features to facilitate ordering and allowing you to customize the online shopping experience to each customer, including rebates, order approvals, and ai-powered product recommendations.
- Sponsored ads - In partnership with manufacturers, distributors now display sponsored banners and products throughout their catalog, influencing the buying decisions.
- More tools for sales reps - we released more features to support sales reps like the ability to adjust product pricing and margin, recommend products, check order approvals and drafts, giving them the product information they need, when they need it.
- Public catalog - distributors now can create public catalogs, hiding pricing, to share with prospects.
Every update we launch is built on real conversations with our users. We’re always listening, learning, and improving to make sure Cut+Dry stays the e-commerce solution you actually want to use. One of our distributor partners said it best - “Cut+Dry is not just a technology partner, they are in the trenches with you figuring out how to solve problems.”
Wins Worth Celebrating 🏆
Our platform doesn’t just process orders – it helps people win. And this year, we saw some amazing success stories from the distributors and restaurants who use Cut+Dry.
One of our favorite moments? Partnering with What Chefs Want, who uses Cut+Dry to deliver a best-in-class, modern and versatile e-commerce experience to their customers. They cut their ordering time by 25% and reduced errors to almost zero – all while keeping their customers happy and shelves stocked.
Restaurants have seen wins, too! This year 44,000 of kitchens relied on our platform to get their supplies faster, stay on budget, and keep their doors open during the busiest seasons.
It’s stories like these that remind us why we do what we do. When you succeed, we succeed – and we’re just getting started.
Our Team: The Heart of It All ❤️
Behind every new feature, every transaction, and every successful delivery is a team that’s passionate about making life easier for our users. This year, our Cut+Dry family grew by 47 new team members – bringing fresh ideas, new skills, and a whole lot of enthusiasm.
We celebrated some big achievements together; some of our longest-serving staff members celebrated their 5-year work anniversaries, and we won a national award at the SLASSCOM Ingenuity Awards 2024. Exciting times! These moments remind us that while we’re all about tech and Foodservice, at the end of the day, it’s people who make the magic happen.
We also made time for fun, learning, and giving back. From team get-togethers, festivities, cricket matches, we’re committed to building a culture where everyone thrives – because happy teams build the best products.
Cheers to Another Bold Year 🔮
2024 was packed with growth, new faces, and big milestones. But we’re not about to rest on our laurels. We’ve got even bigger plans for 2025 – more features, more partnerships, and more ways to make your life easier.
We’re so grateful to every distributor, restaurant, and team member who made this year a success. You’re the reason we’re here, and we can’t wait to keep building a better future for the Foodservice industry together.
Here’s to a fantastic year – and an even better one ahead! 🥂
