- Why a Marketplace?
- Everyone who is in the restaurant industry realized that there did not exist, until now with CheddrConnect, a trusted “go to” platform of vendors, restaurants, food and beverage experts, and other stakeholders in this industry, where people (from the industry) can connect with each other to share, collaborate, and exchange their shared experiences as well as transact with one another without the usual non-personal- customer-vendor relationship- that seemed superficially transactional in nature and nothing more. At CheddrConnect, we’re looking to change that experience as well as our industry, to make it more transparent and more of a community-oriented ecosystem that not only helps individual businesses, and establishments, but can also benefit the whole food community.
