Even against a challenging backdrop, US Foods is building out its toolkit. Investments in services, sales reps, and proprietary products helped drive 3.5% average independent case growth over the past seven years, besting flat industry transaction growth—all while pruning its cost structure.
US Foods’ investments in its digital ecosystem should raise switching costs by enhancing the customer value proposition through easier ordering and greater convenience, while also reducing the workload of its sales reps.
Ongoing macroeconomic pressures could sideline consumers’ appetite for food-away-from-home fare and temper US Foods’ ambitions to grow independent restaurant volumes.
