Who We Serve

One table, three seats.

Zink works because of the company we keep: the manufacturers behind everything a foodservice operation runs on — kitchen equipment, tabletop and smallwares, and furniture — the dealers and consultants who serve this region, and a market rich with chains and independents. Our job is to be worthy of it.

For Operators

Expertise you never pay for.

Spec-level guidance, test kitchens to cook in, and solutions built across our full portfolio — while your purchase flows through your dealer.

03For Manufacturers

One team already in every market.

A salesforce, chefs, showrooms, and test kitchens that are already here — and you pay only on what sells. When you need beyond the Great Lakes, the same alliance covers coast to coast.
