Track foodservice rebate performance by distributor, broker, sales rep, marketing channel, and sales lift. See exactly which operators redeemed and what drove purchases.
Yes. When an operator redeems a First Bite rebate, they submit proof of purchase, which means you see their actual invoice. That invoice shows which distributor they bought through. So as operators redeem, you build a real picture of your distributor footprint.
Most foodservice rebate programs were built for processing claims, not driving sales. First Bite combines rebate management with operator targeting, attribution, prospecting, and market intelligence in a single platform. Brands can identify the right operators, launch customized rebate offers, track every redemption, measure performance by broker, distributor, sales rep, and campaign, and use the resulting data to drive repeat purchases. Instead of rebates operating as a disconnected back-office process, they become a measurable growth engine for foodservice sales.
