How and why would you use a service like NY Food Network? There is one broad general answer: to increase your product’s chances of success in the marketplace.

Typically our clients rely on us for one or more of the following services:

  • Placing Products: With so many new products introduced each year, gaining the attention of food service operators is difficult. We can help you with this, and ensure that your product is properly placed and featured.
  • Increasing Market Share: There are many ways to expand the size of your market: cultivating more use at current outlets, venturing into new geographic regions, seeking new outlets and creating new product variations. We help you decide which of these strategies is right for you and then work with you to implement them.
  • Securing Distributors: For many food- and food-related products, securing a distributor can make the difference between success and failure. But not every distributor is right for every product. We will help you locate—and build a relationship with— the right distributor for your product line.
  • Pursuing Contract Buying Opportunities: One of the most complicated—and potentially most lucrative—ways to market food & food-related products is to enter into a contract with some type of corporate entity, such as a restaurant group, gourmet chain or food service management company. As an outsider, you may not be able to identify these opportunities; we eliminate the guesswork and help you start enjoying the security that comes from a locked-in contract.
  • Building Networks: As your company grows, your product line will, too—and you’ll need more places to sell it. We are constantly building our customer network. When you work with us, our network is yours, too.
  • Creating On-Site Promotions: Taste tests and in store samplings sell product. When you need a quick sales boost, we can help you create powerful on-site promotions that generate immediate income.
