Worked at there Ottawa location for 3 years took over there sales floor changed 90% of it setting up there store for the company, covered an fixed everything all pricing/items not in the system, merchandising issues made that store function for the longest time.
Was kept on the side the whole time even when they did the initial change of chemicals I was already doing everything at that point an the Toronto management did the walk with the manager and a buddy of the company who was hired for only a few weeks to help them out, I was working that day ended taking over a day later having to call Toronto management cause the manager told me to call them after that I did the rest of the store pretty much 90% doing everything covering the whole floor, a lot of customer service and all the trucks I unloaded Ambient/freezer even transfers or store maintenance you name it I covered and fixed it all.
Having to bud in all the time to help them out for the store to function, I had ask for all my raises and promotion they gave me floor supervisor and found out somebody already had it who knew the owner. I worked 2x to 3x harder compared to everyone else to get that position it was fake found out they would make fun of fact he had that position probably me too when they gave it to me.
The floor supervisor position got no training or opportunity in the company got to a point where I called Toronto management to see if I had a actually future in the company, was intentionally verbally attacked with the most ignorant distain and disrespect you could imagine, mocking my position bringing up how that staff member already had the position and it meant nothing just trying to trigger me so he could fire me knowing they brought in others and could take advantage of everything instead of getting me involved like I earned and having me there a fair amount of time a week so I could do things properly not being on overdrive for them all the time too keep the store functioning and being takin advantage of.
Immediately after that Toronto management put staff in departments to push me out brought in staff from Toronto also, when he brought in the first one they walked in an I was walking out to do something he starred me down with the most pathetic look you could imagine like you’re screwed looking at a angle so the new staff couldn’t see, even after all that I still finished the rest of the theme/setups I had planned and helped the new Manager fix all the main inventory problems that were in the system he was forced into the situation I don’t blame him.
Made multiple HR complaints all got ignore they just condone what the management does and protects them, company is very bias there’s no earning you way in the company.

Fantastic and kind Team there! Super helpful, knowledgable, fast and friendly staff. They helped me out in a jam and because of them, we were able to make our delivery. Thank you! I never do Google reviewes, however I had to post today about my experience. I highly recommend this place. They make shopping in bulk fast and easy.

Kinda like a Costco but you don't need a membership. It's really more for restaurants and businesses because some of the quantities are huge, like they have barrels of soy sauce and huge tubs of mayo. However, they have regular sized items too. Like 750ml bottles of Torani syrup. They also sell cases of exotic sodas like strawberry Fanta, Mango Pepsi, etc for $12.99 a case of 12 cans.
Not busy and chaotic like Costco, just not as much selection. Prices are comparable though.
Lots of free parking and easy to find a spot always.

I enjoy my shopping experience at Chef Depot. All the employees there are very helpful and knowledgeable. The Manager, Binu and his team always go out of their way to get items from their Toronto store in case they don’t have stocks here. I stopped most of my Toronto procurement trips because Chef Depot has it, or they get it for me. That’s such a great attitude to have for any business. Big or small. That’s why they have my business.

It is a very nice establishment where commercial enterprises can find all their needs.

They buy and resale a lot of stuff from other stores. 25% of the store is containers for restaurants. This store doesn’t have much for the home chef. Still worth a visit.

Serious Ottawa businesses don't make you call long-distance to TORONTO to speak with someone.

Chef's Depot sells food and supplies for restaurants and caterers but it's open to the public. It's a bit like a Costco Business Centre, but no membership needed. I like that in addition to huge items such as 50 pound bags of flour, they have normal sized items too, like 355ml bottles of sauces, and you can buy just 1 bottle, you don't have to buy a case, lol. They had Torani syrups for $8.98 a bottle (and you can buy just one bottle). They had root beer flavour, which I hadn't seen before. They also had Peach, Pineapple and Strawberry Crush, as well as Strawberries and Cream Dr. Pepper and a few other exotic Dr. Peppers too. Those were $11.99-$12.99 for a case of 12 cans (I wanted to buy just a can of each flavour, but they are only sold by the case and I didn't want 12 cans of the same flavour, lol). They had huge woks and pots that you'd definitely need a commercial kitchen to use. They also had takeout containers, bags, gloves, hairnets, etc. Really cool store. Prices are similar to Costco. It looks like a warehouse, so it's not aesthetically pleasing in there, but I didn't expect it to be. The walk-in freezer freaked me out a bit, what if you walked in and someone locked you in there? I've watched too many episodes of CSI, haha. Anyway, if you always wanted to go to Costco but didn't want to pay the membership fees, you can check out Chef's Depot ;) Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot.
