Problem
Foodservice distributors lose up to 2% of rebate income through manual tracking errors, missed deadlines, and unvalidated claims—on a $200M book, that's $4M left on the table. Suppliers cannot see where their trade dollars actually land, and restaurant operators face margin loss from food cost surprises. Enterprise ERPs were not built for foodservice rebate complexity, forcing finance and procurement teams to manage hundreds of programs across dozens of suppliers by hand.
Solution
Meal Ticket delivers purpose-built profitability management software for the foodservice supply chain through two platforms: TrackMax+ for distributors and MarketMan for restaurant operators. TrackMax+ centralizes rebates, allowances, supplier programs, payments, and insights into a single system, consolidating all sales, purchase, and program data into one source of truth. The platform automates rebate, allowance, and program workflows, managing dependencies, clawbacks, and SLA exemptions in real time while capturing earned income from redistributor sales, pass-throughs, samples, and returns that manual processes miss. Suppliers gain real-time visibility into every agreement and program performance metric, and operators use the platform to lower food costs and protect margin points. The software reduces vendor accounts receivable collection from 90 days to 7 days.
Target Audience
Primary customers are food distributors that need to capture rebate income and automate supplier program management, food suppliers seeking visibility into trade dollar effectiveness, and restaurant operators looking to lower food costs and protect margins.
