What membership gets you

BVRA was founded by independent operators who were tired of paying more than the chains and hearing from every salesperson in the region. Membership gets you vetted vendors, negotiated programs, and introductions on your terms.

Negotiated programs

Member-only pricing and rebates negotiated on the combined volume of the network — starting with broadline distribution and expanding by category.

Vetted vendors only

Every Approved Vendor is reviewed for service, pricing, quality and integrity, and stays approved only while members are satisfied.

Introductions you control

You tell us which categories you are open to. We introduce vendors only in those categories, and only when it makes sense for you. Your business is never listed publicly.

One request to source anything

Need two cases of feta a week, a walk-in cooler, or a payroll provider? Tell us what you need and we find the vendor.

Meetings, food shows and peers

Member meetings, vendor showcases and private B2B sessions with operators who run the same kind of business you do.

Collective voice

United, independent operators get treated like a chain account. That was the founding idea and it still works.
