If you’re a restaurant owner looking to cut costs and increase profit without sacrificing quality, the Greek American Restaurant Cooperative is your trusted partner in restaurant purchasing. Since 2009, we’ve been helping independent restaurants across Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and beyond unlock powerful savings through collective buying power. Our membership-based restaurant purchasing group gives you access to better pricing, dependable vendors, and exclusive rebates on the products you already use every day.
At the Greek American Restaurant Cooperative, we believe that strength comes from unity. By combining the purchasing volume of our members, we negotiate directly with trusted manufacturers and distributors to secure favorable pricing and manufacturer rebates. This means you can spend less time negotiating with suppliers and more time focusing on what matters most: running your restaurant and serving your guests.
Our members consistently see rebates worth four to ten times their membership fee, with average savings of around ten percent. From food and beverages to kitchen supplies and specialty items, our purchasing programs cover over 100,000 products through more than 300 manufacturers and distributors nationwide.
When you join the Greek American Restaurant Cooperative, you gain more than a cost-saving tool; you join a community of restaurant owners who share your challenges and goals. Membership gives you access to negotiated rebates, exclusive vendor relationships, and an experienced team that works for you. We only profit when you save, so our success depends entirely on yours.
There are no long-term commitments or hidden fees. If you don’t see results, you can opt out at any time. But with our track record of proven savings and strong vendor relationships, most members stay with us for the long haul.
Founded by Greek American restaurateurs in the Chicago area, our cooperative began as a small group of operators determined to achieve the same pricing advantages as large national chains. Today, our community includes more than 1,900 members across the Midwest and beyond. From midscale and casual restaurants to fine dining establishments, our members benefit from a purchasing model designed to help them thrive in an increasingly competitive market.
Our mission extends beyond purchasing power. We believe in giving back to our local communities through philanthropic initiatives that support families, small businesses, and local charities.
Whether you operate a single location or manage multiple restaurants, the Greek American Restaurant Cooperative makes purchasing simple, transparent, and rewarding. Just order through our network of contracted distributors and start saving immediately. No hassles, no guesswork, just guaranteed results.
Take control of your costs and join a cooperative that’s built for your success. Contact us today to learn how you can start saving with the most trusted restaurant purchasing group in the Midwest.
Our mission is to provide business solutions through strategic vendor partnerships, positive communications, education and the promotion of operating standards that encourage excellence.
