Prime Source Purchasing Rebate Program

Don't miss out on manufacturer rebates that you are entitled to! A major line item for any restaurant is the range of supplies ordered on a regular basis. Your NYSRA membership makes you eligible to participate in the rebate program offered by Prime Source Purchasing (PSP) at no cost. PSP collects purchasing info from your distributors and then negotiates with manufacturers for rebates on what you've purchased.

• Receive quarterly rebate checks on goods you already purchase through participating vendors.
  • Earn rebates for all restaurant food products including Meat, Dairy, Beverage, Seafood, Grocery, Pasta, Frozen Foods and more.
• Enrolling with PSP does not change how you order or impact rebates you may receive from your distributor.
• No upfront fees or hidden costs.
• No limits on how much you can earn.

"I am very impressed by how easy Prime Source Purchasing works. We  don't have to keep track of rebate forms or invoices anymore. It doesn't require any extra work by our staff and it doesn't impact the way we order from our distributors in any way.  The rebate check that we receive once a quarter is a great bonus to help keep our food costs down!" Dina Cieslinski, Rohrbach Brewing Company
