Vegetable Supplier in Manila: A Guide for Restaurants, Cafés and Hotels
For a restaurant, café or hotel in Metro Manila, the vegetable supplier is one of the most important partners in the kitchen. Late or poor-quality produce means menu changes, waste and unhappy guests. This guide explains what a good vegetable supplier in Manila should offer and how Curated Foods works with professional kitchens.
What a vegetable supplier should cover
- Salad greens and herbs: romaine, arugula, kale, lollo rosso, basil, parsley, thyme, rosemary, dill and cilantro, in the condition a salad station needs.
- Highland vegetables: cabbage, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes and lettuce from Benguet and the Cordilleras.
- Lowland staples: tomatoes, onions, garlic, eggplant, ampalaya, okra, sitaw and squash.
- Specialty and imported items: asparagus, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, coloured bell peppers and specialty mushrooms.
Getting all of these from one wholesale vegetable supplier saves your team from receiving several deliveries and checking several invoices.
Quality checks that matter
Ask your supplier how produce is checked before it leaves the warehouse. Greens should be crisp with no slime at the stems, tomatoes firm and evenly coloured, and herbs fragrant with no black leaves. A good supplier replaces items that do not meet the standard without an argument.
Clear units and stable prices
Every line on the invoice should state the unit: per kilo, per piece, per pack, per bunch or per box. Fixed selling prices for a set period make food costing possible. At Curated Foods, selling prices are set by management and every line records its unit, so what you order is what you are billed.
Delivery that fits service
Kitchens need produce before prep starts. We deliver every day, Monday to Sunday, across BGC, Makati, Rockwell, Ortigas, Pasig, Mandaluyong and San Juan.
More than vegetables
Curated Foods is also a direct importer. Alongside fresh vegetables and fruit, kitchens can order meat, seafood, dairy, French flour, Greek olive oil, Spanish olives and other imported ingredients in the same delivery.
How to open an account
Send us your usual weekly list and delivery address on WhatsApp or by email and we will send prices and delivery days. You can also use the online order form, which lets you add your company name and TIN.
