Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the 1-minute Food Pricing Report really FREE??

Yes. The quick report is free to run and does not require invoices, internal data, or any kind of payment. It’s completely free. No catch.

2. Do I need to upload invoices or provide internal data?

No. The 1-minute report only uses quick answers about your operation, supplier setup, weekly food spend, rebate access, and pricing review habits. It uses your answers and recent local benchmark data to provide expert recommendations.

3. What does the report actually show me?

It gives you a quick view of where your pricing setup may be strong, risky, or worth reviewing. It can help flag areas like missed rebates, distributor pricing gaps, order volume opportunities, or supplier setup concerns.

4. Is this a full food cost audit?

No. This is a quick first look. It helps you understand whether your pricing setup may deserve a deeper review, but it does not replace a full line-by-line invoice comparison.

5. Can I get a full line-by-line invoice comparison from Leverage?

Yes. It has the option to request a deeper check right after the report.

6. Will I have to switch suppliers?

No. The report does not require you to switch suppliers. It helps you understand your numbers and decide what, if anything, you want to review next.

7. What happens after I finish the report?

You’ll receive a quick pricing snapshot based on your answers. If the report shows possible pricing risk, you can decide whether you want to request a deeper review later.

8. Who is this for?

It is built for independent restaurants, hospitality operators, caterers, senior living food programs, resorts, and other food businesses that regularly buy from food distributors or suppliers.

9. How accurate is the 1-minute report?

The report is an AI-generated directional assessment based on your answers. AI can make mistakes, so check important information before making business or purchasing decisions. It is meant to help you spot possible pricing risk, not calculate exact savings. Exact comparisons require recent invoices and a deeper review.

10. What information do I need to complete it?

You only need basic information such as your business type, approximate weekly food spend, current supplier setup, rebate access, and how recently your pricing has been reviewed.

11. Will someone contact me after I complete it?

The Leverage team may attempt to contact you to see if you need any additional help. If you request follow-up or a deeper review, the Leverage team may contact you to do the market basket report. The quick report is meant to help you understand your pricing setup first.

12. Is Leverage Buying Group a food distributor?

Leverage is not a food distributor. We help independent food operators understand their savings potential before making supplier decisions.
