The First Mover Advantage for Food Service | At the Whiteboard

In 2018, for the first time ever, B2B saw more digital purchases than offline sales. For example, 55% of restaurant orders for US Foods came from a self-service ecommerce platform. Salsify co-founder Rob Gonzalez explains how to concentrate your digital shelf.

Now is the time to react before the competition makes necessary digital advancements.
