When you’re an independent operator running a busy kitchen and managing rising costs, finding time to explore savings solutions can be challenging. Rebates offer a way to gain money back on purchases you’re already making. When you join a Canadian buying group like Groupex, you can maximize those savings effortlessly as we provide transparent monthly reporting, so you know exactly where and how much you’re saving.

What Are Rebates and Why Should You Care?

Rebates are post-purchase savings offered by suppliers. Instead of a discount upfront, a portion of your spending is returned to you based on your purchasing volume. If you’re already buying from approved suppliers, you’re likely eligible for cash back—money that could be reinvested into your business. In other words, rebates are a smart, passive way to boost your bottom line without changing your product mix. As one of the leading buying groups in Canada, Groupex pools the purchasing power of thousands of independent operators to negotiate stronger rebate programs with trusted suppliers in the foodservice industry. Through Groupex, members receive:
  • Monthly rebate cheques
  • Clear, easy-to-understand reports
  • Personalized support from key account consultants
We track your eligible purchases and ensure you’re matched with suppliers that generate the highest returns, saving you both time and money.

Why Do Rebates Matter?

Rebates are essential in helping independent operators make the most of their money. They boost profit margins without adding extra work, offering much-needed financial relief in the face of rising costs. With the money saved, operators can reinvest in key areas like staffing, equipment, or marketing. Rebates also bring greater visibility to purchasing decisions, allowing operators to see which products generate returns and make more informed choices. When used strategically, rebates aren’t just a bonus; they become a smart, reliable tool for building a stronger business. At Groupex, we offer a wide range of rebate programsdesigned to support independent operators across every area of their business, from food & beverage to cleaning supplies and technology solutions. This means more savings all across the board, helping operators put more money into their bottom line.

How Can You Maximize Your Rebates?

Managing rebates can be time-consuming, but keeping track of suppliers and expected returns is key to maximizing value. Take the time to review your rebate statements, explore new supplier opportunities, and compare products and prices to ensure you’re getting the most value from what you already buy. The advantage of being part of a buying group like Groupex is that we manage it for you. Each member is supported by a dedicated key account consultant who keeps an eye on your rebates and matches you with the right suppliers. They help you make the most of your membership. All you need to do is stay connected and review your monthly statements so you can focus on running your restaurant while still making the most of your savings.
