Subject: DaVinci, Anyone?
|
For years I've been a minor distributor for DaVinci syrups. A not bad product at all. It was nice to
rep a small company from up in the NW that had a distinct product that could distinguish a mom n pop
shop from others who bought their syrups from the mega food truck distributors. Not so anymore. They
were bought out some time ago by Kerry Food Service. They have now opted to offer the syrups via
Sam's club, at least in my market. So I'm the lucky distributor with one room of a warehouse full of
DaVinci syrup for the upcoming season. Problem is that my customers can buy it a hell of a lot
cheaper at Sam's. I've made the call to see how to go about returning about 5000lbs of product. Now
that we have commoditized roasters, specialty coffees, syrups, (milk was always commoditized), and
all the rest of the accoutrements of this business it may be time to find a McJob with bennies.
