Rebates and Deviations

Rebates and deviations are a great way to help you save some of that hard-earned money, and when you own multiple units, they add up!

Making profits will always be a top priority for you as an operator, but it doesn’t hurt to take advantage of some easy savings, too.

We’re here to show you what rebates and deviations are and how you can take advantage of them as a Consolidated Concepts member.

What are rebates and deviations?

What are rebates and deviations?

You as an operator earn rebates based off purchases you make with manufacturer products.

These rebates are paid out to you quarterly through marketing funds used by manufacturers as an incentive for increasing sales and building customer loyalty.

Deviations are the off-invoice savings on products you’re currently already buying for your restaurant.

When it comes to manufacturer rebates, our team of experts at Consolidated Concepts track and pay those back to you if the items you purchased are covered through a Consolidated Concepts contract.

As far as deviations go, the end goal will be to lower your spend so Consolidated Concepts will continuously make contract recommendations and give you insights into your spend based on your current data.
