Food Distributors Melbourne: Wholesale Specialty Food Delivered to Your Door
Melbourne runs on its cafes and kitchens, and a good kitchen runs on the supplier behind it. Foodistribute is the team Melbourne venues turn to when they want the specialty and premium lines that the broadline catalogues skip, delivered without the fuss of chasing five different accounts. We are food distributors Melbourne cafes, restaurants and home cooks can lean on, and we have been doing this work since 1998. The full Foodistribute range reaches Melbourne by dispatch from our Sydney base, so the Callebaut chocolate, the specialty cheeses and the Japanese pantry goods you cannot find at the supermarket land at your door alongside everything else you ordered.

I found Foodistribute the best online place to shop not only for cheese and dairy but also for their fantastic selection of meats, seafood, vinegar, the list is endless. They offer a wonderful choice of products and brilliant service.

Wholesale food delivery to Melbourne
Here is the part that matters most: Foodistribute delivers across Australia, and Melbourne is one of our regular dispatch destinations. You order, we pick, and your delivery reaches Melbourne. There is no minimum-order maze to decode and no need to be a hospitality giant to open an account. A busy Fitzroy roaster and a home baker stocking up for the holidays buy from the same online store, at the same competitive wholesale pricing shown there.
What we carry is the difference. Most of Melbourne’s wholesale supply runs on the same dry, frozen and chilled staples every venue already has on hand. We go where they tend not to: premium baking chocolate including Callebaut and Valrhona, specialty and artisan cheeses, oils and vinegars worth tasting, Japanese and Asian pantry products, gourmet meat and seafood, bakery lines, crackers and snacks, plus the everyday pantry and grocery items that round out an order. It arrives together, on one invoice. That is the all-in-one idea Foodistribute is built on: one supplier, one bill, the specialty goods and the staples in a single delivery to Melbourne.
If there is something you want that is not listed online, tell us. Product sourcing on request is part of how we work. A Melbourne chef chasing a particular cheese or a single-origin ingredient can ask, and we will do our best to track it down rather than send you elsewhere.
About Foodistribute
Foodistribute is the trading name of Reidistribute Pty Ltd, a wholesale food distributor first established in 1998. That gives us more than 25 years in specialty food supply, and over 5,000 foodservice and retail customers across the country have ordered from us in that time. We hold Food Authority NSW registration, which sets the food-safety standard our handling and dispatch are held to before anything is sent to Melbourne.
The structure is deliberately simple. We supply both food service businesses and individual buyers from the same marketplace, so a Melbourne cafe and the cook down the road order through one shop rather than two trade-only channels. Stock is handpicked rather than just warehoused: we choose the lines we carry because they are good, and our produce is meant to be fresh and tasty on arrival, not merely in transit. When an item does run 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. None of that is a sales pitch you have to take on faith. It is how the business has run for a quarter of a century, and it is why customers keep coming back.
What makes Foodistribute different from a broadline supplier
It helps to be clear about where Foodistribute sits, because “food distributor” covers two quite different things in Melbourne. Most wholesale food suppliers Melbourne venues deal with are broadline operators built for volume on the staples every venue needs: large catalogues of dry, frozen and chilled basics, optimised for bulk and consistency. Foodistribute is built around the specialty and premium end instead, the artisan and hard-to-source products that are not readily available at any supermarket, offered to both trade and individual buyers under one account. You are not choosing between us and a generalist on price for commodity goods. You are choosing us when you want the better cheese, the proper baking chocolate or the Asian pantry line, with the convenience of ordering it all in one place.
Who we supply in Melbourne
Foodistribute serves two kinds of Melbourne customers, and the online store works the same for both.
On the trade side, we supply cafes, restaurants, caterers, cafeterias and food service businesses of every size. Whether you run a single-site cafe in the inner north or a catering operation working events across the city, you can order the specialty lines your menu leans on and the pantry staples behind them in one go, then build a standing order around how you actually trade.
On the consumer side, individual buyers in Melbourne are just as welcome. If you cook seriously at home, host often, or simply want the chocolate, cheese, oils and specialty ingredients that the supermarket aisle does not carry, you buy from the same shop at the same wholesale pricing. Wholesale groceries Melbourne home cooks usually cannot reach without a trade account are open to you here, with no trade-only wall to get past.
How ordering and delivery work
Ordering from Melbourne is meant to be quick. Browse the range online at foodistribute.com.au across categories like Cheese and Dairy, Chocolate and Patisserie, Coffee and Tea, and Meat and Seafood, then place your order through the shop or by email. Pay by credit card or direct debit, whichever suits how your business handles its accounts. From there we arrange delivery to Melbourne.
Pricing is competitive wholesale pricing, shown for each product on the online store, so you can see exactly where you stand before you order rather than waiting on a quote. Online support runs around the clock, so a question at an odd hour does not have to wait for business hours. If you are not sure an item reaches your part of Melbourne, ask us or use the delivery check on the site, and we will confirm it.
Order specialty wholesale food for Melbourne
Twenty-five years of specialty supply, the premium lines Melbourne kitchens actually want, and one bill instead of five. Browse the range and place your Melbourne order at foodistribute.com.au, or email the team at [email protected] to check delivery or ask about sourcing a product.
