If you’ve never needed restaurant supplies, that makes sense. There’s lots of businesses out there you never hear of because you don’t need their services.
As a side topic, that’s something that’s always fascinated me. Looking around at the various vehicles and shops that most people just see as background noise, there are so many industries that we take for granted unless we need that particular product or service.

They’re like 1 and 1a in some order for sure.
