Buyers Edge Platform, a digital procurement network for the foodservice industry, has acquired RestaurantLink's group purchasing and beverage consulting divisions and related customers and contracts.

With the acquisition of RestaurantLink's GPO contracts and members, Buyers Edge Platform expands its national GPO footprint geographically and adds over 2,000 new foodservice members to its group purchasing ranks, according to a press release.

"Now RestaurantLink clients will be able to access the manufacturer contracts, technology, and supply chain opportunities that make Buyers Edge Platform the only end to end Digital Procurement Network in the foodservice marketplace." John Davie, Buyers Edge Platform CEO, said in the release.

GPO services provided by RestaurantLink will now be managed by Buyers Edge Platform and back office services such as accounting, payroll, and HR, which were formally offered by RestaurantLink, have been re-branded as Proairus.
