How Manhattan Pizza saved $246K a year. Without changing a single vendor.

An agreement in place, and pricing that still drifted.

Manhattan Pizza buys cheese, flour, sauce, pepperoni and packaging for 14 locations, and was already on a distribution agreement with a major national distributor.

Even with that agreement, prices moved a little at a time. The terms left room for margin to creep, manufacturer pricing on the group’s highest-volume items had never been negotiated, and invoices were only reviewed when something looked off.

A stronger agreement and new manufacturer deals.

Angel measured every product the group buys against the Angel Index to show where pricing sat above market, product by product.

Using that, Angel’s team renegotiated the existing distribution agreement, tightening margin, fees and price protection. Angel then negotiated new and improved manufacturer deals on the group’s core products, including cheese and pepperoni.

$246K a year, and pricing that holds.

Every invoice is now audited against the location’s history, the other locations, the Angel Index, commodity markets and the terms in place. Since the new pricing took effect, auditing has flagged dozens of overcharges, each one corrected and credited back.

“We didn't change distributors or how we order. We just stopped overpaying.”
