Yes, Faire accepts business-use buyers, including restaurants, cafés and bars purchasing for their operations. Its business-use announcement identifies specialty ingredients, ceramics, glassware and linens among the restaurant use cases.
Use Faire where the products and supplier terms fit your needs. Check the actual assortment, availability and delivery requirements before deciding whether a recurring purchase belongs there or with another supplier. A marketplace's commission model alone cannot establish which distributors or products will be available.
Check account and order eligibility
Faire says business-use accounts are identified to brands, must meet brand minimums and remain subject to brand approval controls. The announcement also says applicable sales tax is charged for business-use purchases. Check the treatment shown for your actual purchase and account; buying items for resale and buying items for the restaurant's own use are different cases.
Before committing, review the brand's order minimum, delivery estimate, quantities, freight and the terms presented at checkout. Keep those details with the order. Do not assume that all buyers or all purchases receive the same payment or return terms.
Match the purchase to the operating need
A restaurant may be buying several kinds of goods at once:
| Purchase | Decision to make before checkout |
|---|---|
| Tableware for an opening | Required date, usable quantity, replacement availability and damage handling |
