So what I’m gathering is that Sysco is probably the reason the cheesecake factory has like 500 menu items

The Health Department would also LOVE if everything were prepackaged instead of made in house.

I work in the beer industry and this is happening there as well. Large distributors are snowballing and gobbling up the whole market, while dropping the smallest nice suppliers

You still have to drop the Sysco fried items in the deep fryer.

because of the massive difference in deep fryer temps required for different common items, it's extremely expensive to maintain a small deep fried menus.

The real devil in the details is there are so many restaurants and ghost kitchens who sell nothing but premade Sysco items so they can hire the cheapest, least skilled labor and then rely on third party delivery services to deliver them to people. They have no brand and spend no money on marketing, they just run deals on the apps and people order. Sadly, this is a profitable business model at the expense of the low paid workers, meanwhile small mom and pops with good food are struggling to stay afloat. Late stage capitalism sucks.

I work at The Cheesecake Factory. Most, if not all of our items are made in house. Even the ranch.

Sysco is used by good restaurants too. Their product line is simply massive and not all just deep fried mozzarella sticks

I've been in the food industry for 20 years and nothing in that video was shocking, especially since I've worked with co-mans for most of my career.

I’ve been a chef that has created items in house, have ordered premade items from distributors, and have worked as a food manufacturer. You are absolutely correct on all of this. Another reason people order premade items is labor savings. (The food safety piece and the cost savings for not having to produce it in house saves money.) [I love your content btw!]

When my mom worked at Trader Joe’s she told me the pot pies were Marie Callender’s etc. It isn’t always a bad thing but a slippery slope is there.

I work in restaurants and have people ask me “where do they get the ______” and “they have the best _____” and it’s always Sysco or us foods. Some places Costco or Sam’s

I do food certifications and work with all types of operations within the industry, and I’ve seen SO much consolidation in ownership of comans and also in distribution warehouses lately. Lots of my clients have been bought out by bigger companies

yeah there is definitely a MASSIVE financial vaccum between these big food companies and small companies. big companies have choked out millions of small businesses of all vocations. this is a reason I wish more people were unionized because these giant monopolistic conglomerates NEED to go out of business for smaller businesses to even have a chance.

back at a summer camp years ago i remember we would sing (to the tune of bingo): there is a truck that brings us food / and sysco is its name-o / s-y-s-c-o / s-y-s-c-o / s-y-s-c-o / and sysco is its name-o

People want in house and safe but it costs money. Even if it’s just a couple running a food truck restaurants are not a business with a huge return on investment. People claim they want this but if it’s even a little more expensive than they liked they’ll retreat to a McDonalds. If you want novel foods or interesting options you need to pay more after.

i talk abt textile industry history for a living and i think so much about how much more MOBILE everything is now than it was even like 20 years ago - like on a physical, spatial level the fact that it’s cheaper to do different stages of production in different places is SO new and so insane

People loved the Mac and cheese at a restaurant I worked at. Stepped in the deep freeze one day and saw the huge stouffers boxes. 🤪
