Foodistribute: Your All-In-One Wholesale Food Supplier and Specialty Marketplace

Foodistribute is the wholesale food supplier and specialty marketplace cafes, restaurants and serious home cooks reach for when the supermarket trade does not carry what they need.

We have run this way since 1998: the premium baking chocolate, the artisan cheeses, the proper coffee and the Asian pantry lines that most catalogues skip, gathered into one online store and sent out on one bill. Trade buyer or individual, you order from the same shop at the same competitive wholesale pricing, and the order arrives anywhere in Australia.

That is the simple promise underneath everything below. Great food, fairly priced, in one place, without the chase across five different accounts to assemble it.

One supplier, one bill, the specialty goods and the staples together

Most wholesale supply runs on the same dry, frozen and chilled basics every kitchen already keeps on hand. We stock those staples too, but they are not why people remember us. We go to the part of the shelf the broadline trucks tend to skip: specialty, premium and artisan lines that are not readily available at any supermarket, handpicked because they are good rather than just easy to warehouse.

The all-in-one idea is the convenience that holds it together. You put the specialty cheese, the baking chocolate, the oil worth tasting and the everyday pantry items in one cart, and it lands as a single delivery on a single invoice. One supplier, one bill, no separate trade-only login for each category. If a line you want is not listed, tell us, and product sourcing on request is part of how we work: a chef chasing a particular cheese, or a home baker after one ingredient, can ask rather than open another account somewhere else.

Shop the full range of specialty and wholesale food

The catalogue is the route into the rest of the site. Browse by category and the order builds itself across whatever your menu or kitchen leans on:

• Cheese and Dairy: soft, washed-rind, blue and aged cheese alongside the everyday dairy a kitchen runs on.
• Chocolate and Patisserie: premium baking chocolate including Callebaut and Valrhona, and the patisserie ingredients behind a good dessert menu.
• Coffee and Tea: the beans and leaf a cafe pours all day, plus specialty teas.
• Meat and Seafood: gourmet cuts and quality seafood for the centre of the plate.
• Oils and Vinegars: olive oils and vinegars chosen to be tasted, not just cooked with.
• Japanese and Asian: the pantry goods and specialty ingredients an authentic dish actually calls for.
• Pantry and Grocery: the dry staples that round an order out.
• Bakery, Crackers and Snacks: bakery lines and the crackers a cheese board is built on.

Every category sits in the same online store, so a function caterer, a wine bar and a home cook stocking up for a dinner all order the same way, with pricing shown against each product before you commit.

Built for food-service businesses and home cooks alike

Foodistribute runs as a B2B and B2C marketplace under one roof, and that is deliberate. On the trade side, we supply cafes, restaurants, caterers, cafeterias and food-service operations of every size, from a single-site cafe to a catering team working events across a city. You order the specialty lines your menu is known for and the staples behind them in one go, then build a standing order around how you actually trade.

On the consumer side, individual buyers are just as welcome. If you cook seriously at home, entertain often, or simply want the chocolate, cheese, oils and ingredients the supermarket aisle does not stock, you buy from the identical catalogue at the same wholesale pricing, with no ABN or trade login in the way.

Delivered across Australia, free across the Sydney metro

Foodistribute is based in Sydney, and from there we arrange delivery across the country. Orders can be shipped to Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, the ACT, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and Newcastle, so wherever you cook, the specialty order can come to you. Each city has its own page if you want the detail on how an order lands where you are.

There is one local benefit worth flagging. Qualifying orders ship free across the Sydney metro, because Sydney is the city we actually work in. If you are unsure whether your order qualifies, the site has a delivery check, or the team can confirm it for you. Ordering itself is quick: browse the range, place the order through the shop or by email, and pay by credit card or direct debit. When something runs out at the point of order, we tell you and offer alternatives or arrange a credit, so a gap in our stock never becomes a gap in your service.

Why Foodistribute is the specialty supplier kitchens keep coming back to

Here is who is behind the order. Foodistribute is the trading name of Reidistribute Pty Ltd, a specialty food distributor that began trading in 1998 and has worked in this corner of food supply ever since. Over those 25-plus years, more than 5,000 foodservice and retail customers have bought from us. Our business also holds Food Authority NSW registration.

What that quarter-century buys you is judgement about the stock. We carry a line because it earns its place, and produce is meant to arrive fresh and tasty, not merely survive the trip. Online support runs around the clock, so a late question does not have to wait for business hours.

Have a look through the categories above, set up the account you will reorder from, and ask us about anything you cannot find. The first order is where most kitchens work out that one shop can carry both the specialty lines and the staples. The standing order is where they stay.
