Benefits of a Casino Joining Source1

With 76% of operators saying their average food costs were higher in 2023, Casinos are increasingly leveraging food and beverage offerings to reduce those costs and attract new customers. In this pursuit, having a reliable Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) and procurement partner becomes paramount.

Enter Source1, the leading data and technology company specializing in hospitality procurement. By joining Source1, you can access high-quality food and beverage products, as well as all the operating supplies and equipment you need, at the lowest prices possible.

What Is a GPO?

A Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) in hospitality is a strategic procurement partner that leverages the collective buying power of its members—such as hotels, restaurants, casinos, and resorts—to negotiate discounted prices and value-added benefits from suppliers. By pooling their purchasing volume, hospitality businesses can access cost-effective solutions for essential products and services while maintaining quality standards.

GPOs streamline procurement processes, provide access to a diverse supplier network, and offer ongoing support to help businesses optimize their purchasing strategies and drive profitability.

How Does a GPO Benefit a Casino?

A GPO offers several benefits to casinos, including:

• Cost Savings: GPOs leverage the collective buying power of their members to negotiate discounted prices and favorable terms with suppliers. This allows casinos to access high-quality products and services at lower costs than if they were to negotiate individually.

 

• Access to Quality Products: GPOs often have established relationships with reputable suppliers, ensuring that casinos have access to a wide range of quality products and services for their operations.

 

• Streamlined Procurement: GPOs simplify the procurement process by providing a centralized platform for purchasing, invoicing, and tracking orders. This streamlines administrative tasks and saves time for casino staff.

 

• Transparency and Compliance: GPOs provide transparency in pricing and contracts, helping casinos ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards.

 

• Ongoing Support: GPOs often provide dedicated account management and customer support to help casinos navigate procurement challenges and optimize their purchasing strategies.

 

• Data and Analytics: Many GPOs offer data and analytics tools that allow casinos to track spending, identify cost-saving opportunities, and make more informed purchasing decisions.

 

Overall, partnering with a GPO can help casinos reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and enhance their overall competitiveness in the market.
