A truck's constraint isn't price, it's cubic feet. Every case you carry is a case of product you can't. So the goal is holding the minimum on board while never running out at a service window.
Keep on board
- One service day of cups, lids and straws, plus a small buffer.
- One service day of primary containers and bags.
- Gloves, sanitizer and towels — non-negotiable, small footprint.
Keep at the commissary
Everything else. Bulk cases, secondary sizes and cleaning stock live where they don't cost you service space. Restock between shifts, not during them.
Use call-ahead pick-up
Phone your order in and we'll pick, pack and stage it on the dock so you're loaded in minutes. If you'd rather not drive at all, we deliver free next day on stocked items across the Valley — including commissary addresses.
Plan around Arizona heat
Summer here changes packaging behavior: sauces separate faster, labels lift, and anything left in a hot truck degrades. Store disposables out of direct sun and rotate stock rather than letting a case sit through July.
