    Re: Roasted on......or best before.....

    I am a very small time roaster and supply to one Iga store and a fruit shop. The owner of the fruit shop requested that i put a use by date on the coffee. I didnt ask why but assume that they are a very proud shop and like fresh produce. I put both a "roasted on" and Use by" date on the packages. I keep an eye on the Iga shelf and make sure my coffee doesnt get too close to the use by date. I will replace old ones for new (have only had to do this once) at my own expense, as when any product in most stores get close to the use by date they put it in the bargain bin and thats not a good look.

      its interesting that the big 2 supermarket chains (and likley to be others as well) require reps form various suppliers to now be partly in charge of stocking of products.

      orgs like
      smiths chips
      coke
      now have the reps doing ordering for shelves and ensuring rotation and stock control rather than leaving it up to the "night fill" staff to sort it out.

      do roasters who supply wholesale mostly do this like greg41 does, checking what there wholesale customers are doing with stock on their shelves and replacing if necessary

        At the Iga where my coffee is one bread vendor pays a local to stock their bread in the morning and the iga staff top it up through out the day. Yes reps such as Cadburys etc can spend up to 3 hours erecting displays. It all saves the grocer money and gets xs brand in the shop. All very competitive.
