: Does anyone know of a site where all the distributors in your area list products and prices and you can log on and compare products, prices, delivery, etc.? These type of sites exist for consumer products (CD's, books), but I have not seen one for commercial/ institutional food buying.

Distributors give different customers different prices and servicing options, depending on how much they buy. It's standard practice for a purveyor to offer much better prices and more frequent deliveries to bigger customers with multiple outlets, especially to the large Chains like Marriott etc. .

Therefore you are unlikely to get such information (their true best prices) from them let alone see it on a web site.
