Dot brings distributors the largest selection of products of any food redistributor. We offer 70,000 quality products from 500 manufacturers that our customers know and trust. Dot stocks the top-selling lines in every category, and we are constantly adding new manufacturers and new products. Distributors can offer more items without adding new slots. They can source dry, refrigerated and frozen foods -- as well as Equipment & Supply -- all from one source.
Dot requires no minimums on individual product lines. Distributors can buy a mix of temperatures and products, with a combined minimum of just 5,000 pounds. They buy exactly what they need in the quantities they need. Fewer products delivered more often means increased inventory turns and improved cash flow.

With 2 million square feet of warehouse space under roof, Dot has more warehouse space than any other food redistributor anywhere. But we don't see all that space as just belonging to us. We see it as an extension of our customer's warehouse facilities.
By using our dry, refrigerated and frozen warehouses, distributors can sink less capital into expensive buildings and inventory, and get that money to work building sales instead. They can offer more products with fewer slots, and achieve better inventory management. With Dot, our customers can really "Build Your Business, Not More Buildings."TM
Dot Foods' customers increase their profits in many ways, including reducing inventory and increasing turns on inventory. Dot makes it possible to maintain great service levels with reduced inventory, because we deliver what's needed when it's needed. Distributors use less cash for inventory, as well as the expensive infrastructure to house it, improving their cash flow. Dot's frequent deliveries help customers maintain smaller inventories, increasing turns and pushing profits up.
Dot's short 2-4 day lead-times and regularly scheduled weekly deliveries mean distributors can respond quickly to spikes in demand or operators' special requests -- without maintaining high levels of inventory or risking poor service levels.
Dot owns and maintains the industry's largest and most advanced fleet, and we employ our own drivers to make sure deliveries arrive on time and in quality condition. We run our fleet with clockwork precision, which helps keep our on-time delivery rate at an impressive 97% (within 15 minutes of scheduled deliveries).
