Old Fashioned Values
After 15 years supplying technology solutions to the hotel industry, Restaurant
Supply Store’s founder Jonathan Shepherd had been asked “could you
source…?” or “do you know anybody that could…?”, so many times that he
decided to form the business to answer these questions however they ended.
Restaurant Supply Store is now one the UK hospitality sector’s best known
suppliers of non-food products and services many business on the Isle of
Wight.
Shepherd believes that the phenomenal growth as down to old fashioned
business values. “We set out to deliver a quality service at reasonable prices.
We treat all of our customers with equal reverence, no matter how small or
large or what standard of hotel or style of restaurant they operate. We do what
we say we will, do when we say we’ll do it. That mentality is instilled in our
entire team and is the formula for long-term success”
Restaurant Supply Store aims to provide everything that the hospitality
business could want to purchase for their hotel’s and restaurant and the
facilities within them. Most products are available to order online at the
company’s website; www.restaurantsupplystore.co.uk but more complex
requirements, art for example, are handled by a specialist procurement team.
The range of products on offer is vast. Most goods are despatched for next
working day delivery, and so those hotels purchasing from a choice of 14
ranges of toiletries, amenities, toilet rolls and cleaning products are never
caught out. Bedding is available in a range of materials and qualities and a
good selection of hairdryers kettles and irons are on offer. Hotel breakfast
room’s and restaurants, can choose from a huge array of cutlery, crockery
and buffet service items. A range of appliances for the kitchen and laundry
rooms are being complemented by a growing selection of hotel and restaurant
furniture.
“As the business continues to grow, we are determined to hang on to those
old fashioned values and small company service levels that we had at the
start”
