Restaurant B2B exchange allows members of the food and beverage industry to buy, sell and trade with each other. Finding restaurant B2B auctions and trade sites can be time consuming. Finding out which B2B sites are best for your company will save you hours of tedious searching.
In the busy world of B2B exchange there are three ways to find B2B partners. The first way is online B2B auctions, those auctions set up specifically to cater to businesses. Another option is to use exchange sites where businesses place offers for other businesses. The last option is online directories that give you lists of businesses that sell or buy B2B.

Find a restaurant B2B auction
Restaurant B2B online auctions let you set exactly how much you are willing to pay for the product or service. A food B2B auction is where your restaurant can select and set prices on what you wish to pay.
I recommend: Bid or Buy Direct is an free online wholesale auction site that holds restaurant B2B auctions as well as direct B2B services. Vasthouse offers a vast collection of B2B auctions for a flat monthly fee. View over 100 food B2B auctions at All Action Trade. FoodBid is a smaller auction site that is designed for food only.

A food B2B marketplace is an online site that allows you to view and place offers for restaurant related products. These websites allow you to see a variety of offers to buy and sell all kinds of food and beverage items.
I recommend: Read buy and sell offers listed daily at the Ezilon B2B Trading website. Place ads to buy and sell restaurant supplies or food at B2B Food. Trade Expro is an online expo that allows you to view and buy B2B food and beverage products.
Use food business trading indexes and directories to find companies with which to do business

I recommend: ITEX is a restaurant B2B marketplace with an large member database broken down in to fields of the food and beverage industry. Search the global restaurant B2Bexchange, at Worldtre. Worldtre has more than 1,000 B2B opportunities in the food section. Find a B2B directory and offers at the BevNetwork.
