Gourmet Partner

What Gourmet Partner does

Gourmet Partner is a Singapore-headquartered B2B gourmet food and beverage distributor incorporated in 2015. The company curates an 85+ brand specialty portfolio spanning premium seafood, meats and poultry, charcuterie, fruits and vegetables, dairy and cheese, baking needs, and desserts and drinks, sourcing directly from farmers, fishermen, and growers worldwide. Its customer base is concentrated in the luxury hospitality vertical — 5-star hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, and artisanal boulangeries and patisseries — served across five wholly-owned regional entities in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Macau.

The company's core operational technology is a temperature-controlled cold chain: dedicated cold rooms, a truck fleet, and a call-centre underpin freshness, with fresh produce air-flown in three times weekly from producers globally. Distribution runs through direct field-sales account management combined with the MyBidfood e-commerce platform (activated post-merger) that offers 24/7 browsing, real-time stock availability, and a 10pm order cut-off for next-morning delivery six days per week. Key certification and exclusivity assets include MSC sustainable seafood certification since May 2018 and the exclusive Singapore distributorship for Cacao Barry chocolate.

Gourmet Partner operates on a transaction-based B2B distribution revenue model with quote-based, per-customer negotiated pricing — no public pricing is disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by digital marketing, newsletter campaigns, and industry events such as the Michelin Guide Singapore 2024 sponsorship. On 1 March 2026, Gourmet Partner merged with Bidfood Singapore, unifying specialty and artisanal expertise with broadline distribution scale and consolidating the customer offering onto the MyBidfood platform.
