Farmers Market Recovery Programs Integration for Restaurants by OrderGenie

Use OrderGenie to manage all purchasing in one pane. Create a "Food Recovery" vendor profile for Food Forward's Farmers Market Recovery, capture weights, item lists, pickup dates, and receiver info, and keep those flows separate for each vendor. Benchmark purchased items across your other suppliers with side-by-side price comparison, lock contract pricing, and auto-flag receiving variances (PO -> receipt -> invoice). Layer in budget guardrails, approvals, and vendor scorecards to control spend on what you buy - while reporting on what you divert via savings. Operators typically see 10-15% savings (up to 20%) on purchased produce through aggregation and controls.

Add verified context to your sustainability story: Food Forward's Farmers Market Recovery gleans unsold, high-quality produce from farmers markets across Los Angeles and Ventura counties and connects it - free of charge - to hunger-relief partners, preventing waste and feeding the community. If you also work with wholesale donors, note their Produce Pit Stop hub in Bell, CA, which receives surplus from the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market and beyond, with refrigerated/dry storage and inventory software supporting large-scale recovery. OrderGenie maps these touchpoints to audit-ready reports for ESG/CSR, grants, and compliance.
