Sunday brunch at Los Compadres is a busy place to be; mid-rush owner Carlos Renteria got a call he did not expect: "Hey, Carlos. So, right now, Sysco is going through some stuff and we're not going to be able to be servicing your account. We're dropping X amount of customers in the state of Kansas and unfortunately, you are one of them," Renteria said.
Los Compadres is among dozens of Wichita restaurants that received a call from the major food supplier, Sysco, saying it's having to halt deliveries.
Renteria said the Sysco sales rep did not give them a timeline for when services can resume.
"Fortunately, we are stocked, it's a matter of the forthcoming weeks," Renteria said.
Los Compadres has contracts with other providers but Renteria says some items they got exclusively from Sysco.
"It does make a difference on what we're going to do as far as inventory or what items we're going to have to put in place as out of stock or not be able to offer any more," he said.
