Question 1

What is Order Optix?

Accepted Answer

Order Optix is food distributor price comparison software for independent restaurants. It matches products across your distributors' order guides and shows you the cheapest place to buy each item.

Question 2

How do I compare prices between Sysco and US Foods?

Accepted Answer

Upload your Sysco and US Foods order guides to Order Optix. It matches equivalent products across both, shows the price difference for each item, and builds an optimized order — so you can compare Sysco vs US Foods pricing without doing it by hand.

Question 3

How does Order Optix help lower food costs?

Accepted Answer

By comparing every distributor's price for the same product and splitting your order toward the lowest-cost option line by line, Order Optix helps you cut food costs without changing what you buy.

Question 4

Which food distributors does Order Optix support?

Accepted Answer

Major broadline distributors including Sysco, US Foods, Performance Food Group (PFG), Gordon Food Service (GFS), and Cheney Brothers, plus others — any distributor whose order guide you can upload.

Question 5

How does Order Optix work?

Accepted Answer

Upload your order guides from each distributor, Order Optix matches products across them, you enter the quantities you plan to order, and it returns an optimized per-distributor order showing your line-item savings.

Question 6

How much does Order Optix cost?

Accepted Answer

$100/month per location, $75/month for each additional location, with 10% off annual billing. A 7-day free trial is available.

Question 7

Do I have to upload my order guides every week?

Accepted Answer

You upload to refresh pricing. Quantities change every order and are entered each time, but your matched product catalog carries over, so you're not starting from scratch each week.

Question 8

Is my distributor pricing kept private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Order Optix does not access your distributor accounts directly — you provide your own order guides, and each operator's pricing data is isolated to their own account.
