What Austin Restaurants Require from Food Vendors

Most Austin kitchens require these four items before approving a new supplier.

πŸ›‘οΈ

Certificate of Insurance (COI)

What restaurants need: A document proving the vendor carries liability insurance. Restaurants keep it on file before approving a new supplier.

ChefPax: ChefPax carries $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate General and Product Liability. COI available on request.

πŸ“„

W-9 Documentation

What restaurants need: Required for vendor payment processing and tax documentation. Hotels and corporate accounts need this on file before issuing payments.

ChefPax: W-9 available on request. Contact us before your first order and we will provide it promptly.

βœ…

Food Handler Certification

What restaurants need: Texas requires food handlers to be certified. DSHS certification demonstrates the operation follows food safety standards.

ChefPax: ChefPax holds a Texas Food Handler Certification issued by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS).

πŸ“¦

Consistent Supply Capability

What restaurants need: Hotels and restaurant groups need vendors who can deliver reliably week over week. Inconsistent supply causes menu problems.
