We have many tools to help customers succeed and I’m glad to be a part of that.  Online Order Entry gives our customers control of not only placing their orders but also many reports.  Customers can place their orders using live inventory; they can use par levels to easily take inventory and place orders based on what they currently have in stock.  They can print order guides, run usage reports, and also view A/R information. 
 
Social Media is becoming more and more popular in our industry.  My newest focus is just that!  Southern Foods is using Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and Emma Email Marketing to share information about our industry to our customers, vendors, partners….and even our future customers.  We love promoting our customers on Facebook and want each of our customers to become a part of this growing media!  If your restaurant wants to start a Facebook page and would like to get some ideas on where to start, please call me and we can talk! 

I believe that I have a certain knack for working with the public, that’s why I enjoy my job at Southern Foods so much! The best part of my job would have to be the interaction with our customers; I really enjoy dealing with them not only on the phone but face to face too!

I have held different positions at Southern Foods from day and night warehouse to my current position, the Chemical & Beverage department.  I have enjoyed all of my different positions but my favorite is the current work that I do.  I get to be in front of customers and assist them in keeping their equipment maintained so they can stay up and running.  When a call comes in on our service line, we understand we must act as quickly as possible to make sure the customer’s problem is addressed and fixed as fast as it possibly can be; this is how my department provides WOW! Service.  Call me for your Chemical and Beverage needs.

I love the close-knit family atmosphere at Southern Foods, not only with the customers, but with my co-workers as well. I also enjoy talking with customers about their lives, their businesses, and their passions. It really makes my job worthwhile.

I have been associated with the food service industry since 1979 and purchasing Center of the Plate since 1986. My goal has always been to provide my customers the best quality product at a competitive price on a weekly basis. We can service whatever needs you may have, whether it’s beef, pork, poultry or seafood. Our HAACP & state of the art refrigeration systems insure quality and safety of the most important part of your menu – Center of the Plate!

I bring a lot to the table and can help you in many ways.  I have been in the food industry over 28 Years!  I’ve been a Kitchen / Catering Manager, Food Service Director and Chef. I know the products we sell and their applications and can help you with menu ideas. I work closely with our top level vendors and products. Want to see some new menu items?  Set up an appointment with me and I’ll show you items at our warehouse or at your facility. My food service knowledge is here to help you whether it’s advice for an event you’re catering, an idea for a Friday night special, or a kitchen or health code question.

I have been with Southern Foods since 1986 and have worked in Chemical / Beverage since 1993.  I have held several positions within the company so my knowledge of the food industry covers a wide range.  When a customer calls our C&B service line, they are having problems with their equipment.  Our department knows that rapid response time is critical to every call we receive.  Keeping the customer up and running is our way of providing WOW! Service.  If you are having service problems, please call our service line at 270-796-8942 ext  131 for the fastest response and leave a message.  This will alert the on call co-worker so they are able to alleviate the problem as soon as possible.   Call me with all your Chemical & Beverage needs.

I have extensive experience in the food industry and particularly the healthcare industry.  I am well trained in my area of expertise, as a Registered and Licensed Dietitian, ServSafe Instructor and HACCP trainer.  I have been a street salesperson, which gives me an insight to "our" side of the business and have also worked in menu development, nutrition analysis, providing CEU training and consultations. Being an instructor at WKU, I am constantly learning, growing and adjusting to the changes in healthcare.  I see personal and professional development as an ongoing challenge and opportunity and regularly attend conferences, conventions and I am a real pro at networking.  I connect people -- drawing them together to produce results whether it be customers, professors, students or vendors and I am successful at providing WOW! service while working groups to the advantage of all involved.  Call me with all of your Nutrition needs!

While engaged in the equipment and smallwares side of the food industry, I have witnessed many changes not only with the vendors but with the customers as well.  This experience has enabled me to better focus my energies toward facilitating sales to our customers.  It has allowed me to develop relationships within the industry through diligent networking in the community and interaction with food sales.  The main focus is solution sales by adapting my knowledge and meeting our customers’ expectations of how their equipment should be utilized in their facility.  By this careful method, I try to eliminate problems before they arise.  Overall, it is gaining the trust of a customer that ensures a life-long relationship.
