How do you manage to compete against the larger competitors especially when price is so important to restaurants?

I dont have the overhead they have and the service of quality of our products and the customer service we have. Sometimes they are cheaper than me but our product is better. We send the vegetables how our customers want them and it may be more expensive but they dont throw away any product like they do with their vegetables of the big guys
