FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Ambient dry goods, food-service packaging and cleaning chemicals, across more than 2,000 stocked lines. That covers rice, maize meal, flour, sugar, cooking oil, pulses, pasta, spices, condiments, sauces, tinned goods, tea and coffee, plus takeaway packaging, disposables and janitorial supplies. We do not supply fresh produce, chilled or frozen lines.
We deliver on weekly scheduled routes rather than on demand. Each account has a set delivery day for its area, so you can order to a cycle instead of chasing stock. Tell us where you are and we will confirm which day your area runs.
Our Johannesburg warehouse covers Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West. Our Cape Town warehouse covers the Cape Town metro and the wider Western Cape. We do not currently deliver to KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape or the Free State.
Yes. Case, carton and pallet quantities are available across the ambient range. The right break depends on the line and your usage, so send us your list and we will set out the options and pricing.
We supply them. We are a distributor, not a catering operator. We do not plan menus, prepare food or provide on-site staff. We deliver the dry goods, packaging and cleaning products that your kitchen or your catering contractor works with.
Yes. Both warehouses carry their own stock across more than 2,000 lines. Where a customer needs a line we do not hold, we can source it, but the majority of what we supply ships off our own shelves.
Yes. Our food safety management system is certified by Intertek under the FSA scheme, following the GFSI Global Markets Capacity Building Programme. Certificate 0249980 covers receiving, storage, handling and distribution and is valid until 17 June 2027. We will send it for your supplier file on request.
Four things worth checking: whether they hold their own stock or broker it, whether delivery runs to a schedule you can plan around, whether the range covers packaging and cleaning as well as food, and whether they can produce a current third-party food safety certificate when you audit them.
Business customers rather than the public: restaurants and takeaways, catering companies, airline and flight kitchens, corporate canteens, schools, hospitals and other institutional kitchens, bakeries, and hotels and lodges.
Yes, and most customers do. All three categories come off one account, one delivery and one invoice, instead of running three suppliers and three delivery days.
Since 2007. Our Cape Town branch opened in 2023 to serve the Western Cape.
WHY ON THE RUN MARKETING
We have supplied the South African food service trade since 2007. Both our warehouses carry their own stock, orders are picked and checked in house, and deliveries leave on our own weekly scheduled routes. We are not an agent placing your order with somebody else.
