Labatt Food Service, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas is the ninth largest foodservice distributor in the nation, serving food-away-from-home customers in five states. The company is a third generation company whose antecedents date to 1910. Since the early 1980s Labatt has grown from 20 employees with $8 million in sales to over 1900 employees with over $1.8 billion in sales. Our mission is to reduce the cost of distribution and grow our customer’s business by being “Home of the Best” in three dimensions—best in people; the best national brand product; and the best innovative services. Our business model is not built on maximizing profits for shareholders. Our business model is to be continually seeking efficiencies and driving costs out so that we can sell at ever-lower pricing to our customers, and so that we can pursue new customers. It is a customer-driven model. We want to be known as an innovative, high-energy growth company that puts our customers first and creates a place for good people to have careers and raise their families.
