Sysco is the largest global foodservice distributor, delivering food and non-food products to customers who prepare meals away from home. The company serves restaurants, healthcare facilities, schools, and hotels, and operates through four segments: U.S. Foodservice Operations, International Foodservice Operations, SYGMA, and a hospitality supply business. Its primary business involves broadline distribution, warehousing and delivering items ranging from fresh produce and meats to kitchen equipment and disposables. Sysco earns a gross margin by purchasing products from suppliers and reselling them to foodservice operators. The company focuses on local independent restaurants, which offer higher profitability than national chain accounts. Key operational drivers include increasing the sales mix of private-label Sysco Brand products and enhancing supply chain efficiency across 333 global distribution centers. To reach value-seeking independent operators, Sysco is acquiring Jetro Restaurant Depot, a cash-and-carry wholesaler with a warehouse-store format. The company's growth strategy utilizes AI-powered tools to identify sales opportunities, loyalty programs to retain high-value customers, and the application of its U.S. broadline model to international markets. Sysco leverages its procurement scale to negotiate lower product costs and uses a dedicated field sales force to provide menu and business advice to local customers.
