What We Do
How It Works
As an independent, pro-active Cost Avoidance Program, we don’t buy or sell produce; we manage and monitor your entire produce purchasing program bringing clarity, fairness, and accountability to every dollar you spend. We sit on your side of the table, ensuring your operation avoids unnecessary costs while securing consistent quality and reliable service without adding more work to your internal team.
Our role includes:
Weekly cost monitoring based on true landed cost
Pricing verification against market data and supplier submissions
Invoice auditing tied to purchase & order guides
Supplier communication & issue resolution on your behalf
Clear visibility into spend, performance, and opportunities to avoid unnecessary cost
Because we do not profit from your purchases, every recommendation we make is focused on your best interest—not on pushing product.

Pricing & Invoice Verification
Our team cross-checks distributor pricing, delivery data, and weekly purchase guides to prevent overcharges and identify cost-avoidance opportunities early.
A System Built for Real Operations
Our structure mirrors the realities of foodservice—tight budgets, quality demands, multiple facilities, and rapidly shifting markets.
Certified Supplier Program
Pic Rite independently evaluates every distributor before they enter our Distributor Network.
Our review includes:

GAP certification
Liability insurance certificate

This program allows us to maintain trusted suppliers in every market we serve—and in many markets, multiple suppliers to maintain weekly competitive pressure.
Our Distributor Network
Pic Rite partners with qualified distributors across the United States, carefully selected for reliability, quality, freshness, and compliance. Our team continuously monitors distributor performance and documentation to ensure consistency, food safety, and competitive pricing in every region. By maintaining open, multi-distributor markets wherever possible, we create healthy competition that protects client value and maintains high service standards.
We pride ourselves on:
Distributors vetted for reliability, quality, freshness, and compliance
Continuous performance and documentation reviews
Multi-distributor sourcing to keep markets competitive and pricing fair
Why It Works
Independent, transparent, and designed to avoid unnecessary costs.
Because Pic Rite is not a distributor and does not mark up your invoices, we deliver:
Reduced unnecessary costs through accurate cost tracking and weekly oversight
Improved accountability across suppliers and facilities
Simplified communication with a single point of contact
Consistency across every location in your system
Confidence in pricing, quality, and service every week
Our mission is simple: Bring transparency, fairness, and stability to your produce program—so you can focus on running your operation.
