Consultative selling isn’t new—but scalable tools that help DSRs actually deliver on it? That’s where things get exciting. At Pepper, we believe the best tech should strengthen relationships—not replace them. Check out Jason Gunn’s recap and takeaways from the latest The International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA) reports in the article below ⤵️ #FoodserviceDistribution #DSREnablement #AIinFood #IFDA #IFDA2025 #TeamPepper #Pepperverse
One of the best parts of working at Pepper is nerding out with my team on all the happenings in the industry so we can figure out what cool stories we want to tell.... Turns out I read a lot of nerdy stuff and, according to my team, I should post more! So I'm going to. From me to you... ICYMI. Thanks for the shoutout The International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA)! As well as, Mark S. Allen and his team for all the love and support over the length of my career. Cheers!

Restaurant operators need their DSRs now more than ever—but not just as order-takers. They’re looking for trusted advisors who bring real expertise to the table. AI is transforming the role, but the heart of the job hasn’t changed: relationships, trust, and strategic guidance. At Pepper, we’re building AI-powered tools to take busywork off DSRs’ plates so they can focus on what moves the needle—helping operators make smarter decisions and grow their businesses. Learn more about what this shift means here: https://lnkd.in/gyz2AKbC #DSR #FoodDSR #SalesTech #Foodservice
Great work by The International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA) and Technomic, Inc. on their recent study on the changing role of the DSR. Key takeaways that stood out to me: 1/ Operators value their monthly face time with customers, which is less than 5 years ago but >80% of operators don’t want it to change 2/ ~40% of operators say they NEED their DSR more than ever to help navigate an increasingly complex, fast changing, and high pressure business environment in foodservice 3/ …. Yet operator satisfaction with their DSRs is going the opposite direction, down ~20% vs 5 years ago 4/ What are they looking for in DSRs? Top 3 things are all related to Product knowledge and advice. The kind that moves the needle for the business; not “buy this bacon from me cuz it’s cheaper” but rather “are you buying the right bacon for your menu?” At Pepper we're placing a big bet on the future of the DSR -- more consultative, less transactional, AI-enabled, and more critical than ever to winning in food distribution.

People call items different names—names your ERP won’t always recognize. Any out-of-the-box model won’t know your customers like you do. Your customers have their own way of saying things, and order history alone can’t always connect the dots. That’s where Training Mode comes in. With Training Mode, DSRs can teach our AI those unique terms, ensuring every match is spot-on. The result? A smarter AI that works with your team for more accurate, reliable orders. #AIlearning #ERPintegration #TrainingMode #SmarterOrdering Nick Ziech-Lopez Angela Pastor
