What Compass Group Means for Foodbuy Foodservice Members

Get to Know Our Parent Company

At Foodbuy Foodservice, our mission is to help restaurant operators grow stronger businesses through smarter purchasing. While many things set us apart in the market, our connection to Compass Group – our parent company – provides powerful benefits to our group purchasing Members.

As our parent company, Compass Group gives Foodbuy Foodservice Members access to scale, innovation, and expertise that few group purchasing organizations (GPOs) can match. Here’s why that connection matters and how it benefits your operation.

The Power of Compass Group

Compass Group is a global leader in food and support services. Headquartered in the UK, the company operates in over 40 countries and serves more than 5.5 billion meals annually. With over half a million employees worldwide, Compass runs dining programs in schools, hospitals, corporate offices, stadiums, and more.

Foodbuy began as the procurement arm of Compass Group North America. That means every sourcing decision we make is backed by real-world operational experience from Compass’s own high-volume kitchens.

What This Means for You as a Foodbuy Foodservice Member

As a Foodbuy Member, you benefit directly from our connection to Compass Group. Their global scale and operational expertise help us deliver programs that go far beyond pricing, supporting your business with tools, strategies, and innovations.

Here’s how that advantage shows up for you:

• Stronger purchasing power – Foodbuy’s $35 billion+ in managed spend is the key to our competitive programs and it’s made possible partly by our role as Compass Group’s sole procurement resource.
• Reliable supplier relationships – while Foodbuy has been serving our Members for more than 25 years, Compass Group’s connection with suppliers is much longer, providing us with deep supplier relationships.
• Proven operational strategies – our Members can tap into the tools and sourcing standards used by Compass Group across healthcare, education, hospitality, and more.
• Access to innovation – Compass Group’s broad network gives us early access to culinary trends, sustainability initiatives, and tech-driven solutions tested at scale.

Being part of the Compass Group family gives Foodbuy Foodservice Members a unique advantage in the marketplace. You get the buying power of a global foodservice giant combined with the flexibility and personalized support of a dedicated GPO.
