Tyranny of distance also plays a part when food and beverage suppliers want to reach the various Foodservice operators in cities and regional areas with their produce and products across a continent.

There are six established Foodservice distribution channels in today’s Australian Foodservice market.

These include:

1. Direct distribution by manufacturers 2. General distributors 3. Specialist distributors/wholesalers 4. Cash & Carry 5. Supermarkets 6. Other Retailers
