Welcome to the Performance Table An Introduction by Kyle Cottengim

Have you ever wondered, “Where can I go for ALL things NEW, EXCITING, and INNOVATIVE in Foodservice and Hospitality?” GOOD NEWS…PERFORMANCE Foodservice – Atlanta has been preparing to be the one stop shop and solutions provider for ALL your operation’s needs and we’re bringing you news and notes HOT OFF THE PRESS!

As we all know, the landscape of foodservice and hospitality is changing so rapidly and the demand on independent operators to create an experience that provides their guests a break from the monotony, a comfortable place to celebrate or commiserate and make memories, challenges the operator to bring the most creative culinary concoctions. PERFORMANCE Foodservice – Atlanta has been assembling a team of experts, sourcing the highest quality ingredients, and passionately preparing to offer solutions to the questions and concerns that keep you up at night!

In this inaugural edition of The PERFORMANCE Table, you will be introduced to the aforementioned experts and creative culinary concoctions, as well as gain access to foodservice solutions that span well beyond the

PERFORMANCE Foodservice case that proudly makes its way into your kitchen!

After 15 years of being part of the PERFORMANCE

Foodservice family, I have learned SO much about food, cooking, hospitality, customer service, and everything in between. The one thing that continues to resonate on the daily, PEOPLE! We all know how competitive the foodservice sales and distribution industry is; when you can buy the same products from ten different companies and sales professionals, how do you determine whom you buy from? It is all about the PEOPLE…people purchase things from PEOPLE they know and trust! People also buy PRODUCTS they trust!

From a product perspective, PERFORMANCE Foodservice – Atlanta has doubled the number of items we stock and offer from 7,500 to 15,000 SKUs over the last fifteen years…many of which are EXCLUSIVE to PERFORMANCE Foodservice! Remember that PEOPLE thing - our PEOPLE are the brains behind those brands and PERFORMANCE Foodservice strives to partner with the industry’s TOP growers and manufacturers to bring the market the highest quality products at the most competitive price. These brands were built with the independent operator in mind. We are experts in the trials and tribulations, thriving verses surviving, and overall being the innovative leader in customer service. The PERFORMANCE Foodservice and ROMA Family of Brands are the backbone of our business. These brands truly provide a point of differentiation: equity in our partnership with our customers, stability in supply chain, marketing of the suite of value-added products and our premium line of proteins, produce and EVERYTHING unmentioned. I cannot wait to see what creations you come up with!

At the end of the day, PERFORMANCE Foodservice – Atlanta has the PEOPLE and PRODUCTS to support the health, wealth, and PROFITABILITY of your business!
