Episode 102: Sysco Market Update with Jamie & Jason

In this episode of the Get ’N Your Business Podcast, host Alison Shores sits down with Jamie and Jason from Sysco for a real-world look at what is happening in the food industry and how it impacts local restaurants, business owners, and consumers.

Jamie and Jason break down current market challenges including produce shortages, drought effects, freight costs, rising beef prices, and the seasonal trends restaurants need to watch heading into summer. They also explain Sysco Market Corner, a free weekly tool that helps restaurant owners and everyday shoppers understand why food prices are going up or down.

The conversation also highlights how Sysco supports restaurants beyond food delivery through expanded product access, next-day availability from Orlando, menu analysis, test kitchens, chef support, food shows, and strong local relationships.

More than a market update, this episode is a reminder of how connected Camden County’s restaurant community really is — and how much work happens behind the scenes to keep local businesses moving forward.

Episode Takeaway

Your vacation should not be a gamble. Zahi’s biggest reminder is that just because a resort looks amazing on TikTok or Instagram does not mean it is the right fit for your trip. Working with someone who has firsthand knowledge can help you save time, avoid frustration, and plan a vacation that actually matches what you want.
