SEE ORIGINAL ARTICLE 0 Likes Share Finding ways to serve customers and those in need June 19, 2020 FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, my priorities were protecting our 400 employees as well as securing the supply chain. I started devising a strategy during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, when I was on Rosemary Beach in Florida with my wife and two daughters. At that time, I never thought the pandemic would escalate so much, especially in the United States. I put together a team of three people to assess our imports from Asia. Our coconut water and rice come from Thailand. We buy products from five vendors in China, but only one is a major item for us — garlic. We evaluated those shipping channels because when you order goods from overseas, two months can pass before you receive them. I knew if I could get the products out of the manufacturing plants to the docks and onto a ship, I’d be safe. In January, for example, we ordered six months’ worth of garlic. By mid-February, vessels were unable to dock in China, causing garlic prices to skyrocket. Read Article 4 Likes Share Reopening American restaurants begins with foodservice distributors.
