Hi everyone! I've been working at restaurant depot for eight years. Im an asst. Manager at restaurant depot in one of the Massachusetts branches. Normally its closed to the general public but due to covid they are allowing anyone to shop there as long as you have a form of i.d. Ask your local restaurant depot if its open to the public. It may vary depending on where you live but I can say that in New England and New York its still opened to the public. As of the time im writing this. Hope this helps! BTW New to the channel great video!

I like Restaurant Depot. Also even if you do not have a business you van still sign in and get a day pass just by showing an I.D.. You are correct that they often require you to buy a 40lb case. I daw they had a special on spiral cut hans for $1.99 per lb but you have to buy a 40lb whole leg of ham. I did get a hell of a deal on ribeye steaks though it is the whole ribeye and you have to do some burchering yourself. The prices are great though.

Most people who are buying from RD aren't afraid to do a little work to make/save a few dollars, so cutting the ribeye seems like a walk in the park! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Well done. It's always good to shop around, provided one has the time. If one doesn't have the time, go where you're sure they will have everything you need. Currently if I don't get to the RD I go to by Monday or Tuesday, I'm probably not going to be able to get Babybacks ( here in the Northwest Babybacks WAY outsell spares. Folks don't care for spares as much. And the RD I go to only receive pork products on Mondays ( just one day a week, unbelievable). Anyway Chefs supply ( it's another cash and carry store, that's a industry name for stores like Restaurant Depot) knows this and is a Northwest chain and started to be open to general retail and does a better job of normally having Babybacks in store but boy howdy, at a terrible price. They used to always be at $3 lb or less. Now expect $5 lb. Anyway like I was saying keep a eye on all pork prices. California is already feeling their self inflicted pain on pork but hopefully it will help the rest of us. Gotta go, here fishy fishy. 😄🎣

For me in WI and one in MN they let the public in on a day pass. So you can always call and ask do they allow day passes. Just bring a drivers license.

Hey Dash... I've not made it to the Depot yet, however, I need to.. I recently bought a few items at our local Costco and the prices have REALLY gone up.. A package of non organic wings was $27 and a 3 pack of baby backs was $47!

So is an LLC different than a business license?

It can be. A LLC is just the formation of a company, a business license, could be something required by your state, county, city or town to actually "DO" business. Think permits, certifications and such.

I have to tell you Dash but Costco business center has better prices on beef like brisket and ribs than Restaurant Depot does lately.

@SDSBBQs

2 жыл бұрын

There are times when Costco and or Sam's will have better prices but they might not always have the selection I am looking for. Lets say I need a 10lb brisket for a small 5lb order... I can go to RD and pay 15-25 cents more per pound and get what I need as opposed to having to buy a 18-20lb brisket that I will be too big. There are definitely trade offs at times.
