Cut+Dry Acquires Enterprise Café to Further Enhance Margin Optimization for Its Distributor Partners

Cut+Dry today announced it has acquired Enterprise Café, a trusted business intelligence platform that gives independent foodservice distributors real-time visibility into rebates, incentive programs, and business performance.

Enterprise Café will continue operating under its existing name, leadership, customer agreements, pricing, and support organization. Steve Strasser will continue to serve as President of Enterprise Café, and the entire Enterprise Café team will remain in place.

Together, the companies will focus on one outcome: helping foodservice distributors improve margin.

Immediate Benefit for Enterprise Café Customers

For Enterprise Café customers, nothing changes in the product or the service they get today. Except for the additional upside of Cut+Dry’s Yes Chef AI embedded into the Enterprise Café product as a free upgrade.

Enterprise Café customers will continue working with the same team they know and trust under the same contracts, pricing, and support processes they have today. Existing customer agreements remain in place, and no customer action is required.

Customer data permissions also remain unchanged. Users will continue to access only the information their distributor authorizes, and existing data privacy controls remain in place.

A Shared Focus on Distributor Margin

For independent foodservice distributors, margin is the metric that matters most.

On the buy side, Enterprise Café has long helped distributors reconcile manufacturer rebate and incentive programs, ensuring they recover every dollar they have earned. Combined with Cut+Dry’s AI capabilities, distributors will be able to identify missed opportunities before claim deadlines expire and maximize every available dollar.

On the sell side, Cut+Dry helps distributors improve customer profitability through AI-powered pricing recommendations and margin optimization, enabling sales teams to make smarter pricing decisions at the customer and SKU level.

Together, Enterprise Café provides the visibility while Cut+Dry delivers the intelligence and recommendations needed to improve profitability.

“Enterprise Café built one of the most trusted business intelligence platforms in foodservice, and Steve and his team have earned that trust over many years,” said Mani Kulasooriya, Co-Founder and CEO of Cut+Dry. “We’re not changing what made Enterprise Café successful—we’re building on it. By combining Enterprise Café’s visibility with Cut+Dry’s AI and structured data platform, creating an AI platform purpose-built to help foodservice distributors improve margin.”

Expanding Margin Opportunities Through Cut+Dry Influence

As part of the acquisition, Enterprise Café customers will gain access to Cut+Dry Influence, expanding the manufacturer-funded programs available to distributors and creating new opportunities to generate incremental margin on the products they already sell.

Enterprise Café customers will also have the option to adopt additional Cut+Dry capabilities—including e-commerce, digital ordering, catalog management, and payments—but no customer is required to change systems or workflows.

“The trust we’ve built with our customers remains our highest priority,” said Steve Strasser, President of Enterprise Café. “Our customers will continue working with the same people, the same platform, and the same support team they rely on today. Together with Cut+Dry, we’ll innovate faster and bring new AI capabilities that help distributors improve profitability while preserving everything our customers value about Enterprise Café.”
