Food Biz Supply

What Food Biz Supply does

Food Biz Supply is a privately held B2B e-commerce reseller founded in 2009 and based in New York, specializing exclusively in biodegradable and compostable foodservice supplies for the US restaurant industry. The company operates a direct-to-consumer online storefront at FoodBizSupply.com, distributing products across six primary categories — Cups & Straws, Tableware, Takeout Containers, Bakery, Catering, and Bags — sourced from nine manufacturer brands including EcoProducts, Vegware, World Centric, Ecotainer, Stalk Market, Fabri-Kal Greenware, Bamboo Studio, Pack-n-Wood, and Solo Bare. Its catalog emphasizes BPI-certified compostable products made from PLA corn resin, sugarcane bagasse, bamboo, palm leaf, and recycled paper, positioning the company around environmental compliance and ESG-driven purchasing for foodservice operators.

The business model is straightforward resale with pay-as-you-go unit pricing on bulk/wholesale quantities, supplemented by a custom printing service for branded volume orders. Distribution is conducted via self-service e-commerce for SMB customers (restaurants, caterers, coffee shops, corporate cafeterias) and direct sales for mid-market accounts. The company offers free ground shipping to the contiguous United States and operates a regional West Coast warehouse for fulfillment. With 11-50 employees, a single revenue stream (one-time product sales), no disclosed funding, and no public financial reporting, Food Biz Supply operates as a stable but small niche reseller with modest expansion signals through category broadening and custom printing services.
