Which wholesalers supply major restaurant groups like JKS Restaurants, and what is their buying structure?

For restaurant groups like JKS Restaurants, members identified several key wholesalers that supply them: - **Venus** — listed as a supplier to major restaurant groups - **Amathus** — supplies restaurant groups; noted as a wholesaler option - **Enotria** — supplies restaurant groups - **Speciality** — believed to supply restaurant groups Members noted that some restaurant groups with multiple brands (like JKS) can bypass wholesalers and buy direct through a central purchasing unit, which may offer better pricing and terms. The discussion suggests checking whether target accounts have centralised buying across all their brands or split buyers per concept, as this affects approach and negotiation structure.
