1. The new "Chefs Cockpit" 
   The Fastest Way To Get Your Online Ordering Done! __________________________________________________

Online ordering is becoming increasing popular with today's busy chefs and food service professionals. Alliant reports that 40% of its sales are already done on their online ordering system. Sysco's online system should be live soon.

We also know that most of you order your supplies from a variety of suppliers. And that is where the "Chef's Cockpit" comes in. It provides a gateway to a variety of online systems, all from one single, convenient point, and that will save you time! 

In conjunction with our Buyer's Guide, and the Thomas Food Registry (coming soon), you have 22,000 suppliers of food products, ingredients, equipment, and supplies right at your finger tips.

Take a look at it at http://marketplace.chef2chef.net/ and tell us what you think. If you like it, there are detailed instructions, on how to set the "Chef's Cockpit" to be the HOME or START page for your browser.
