Violi said a prime vendor agreement needs at least a semi-annual review that provides a look into both parties' operations.

"The operator needs to understand the capabilities and limitations of the distributor, from a pricing and operational perspective, as much as the distributor needs to understand (the operator's) business," he said.

"Help in menu marketing, ideas and solutions should become a partnership between the two parties," he said.

"This will be an exciting year for Buonamici International, and this event was a perfect fit to really kick things off for us," said Ross Violi, the company's managing director.
