In a significant achievement for the rare collaboration of franchise operations and supply chain management, National DCP, LLC (NDCP) proudly marked the delivery of its 750th consolidated New Store and Remodel Solution package, a momentous event for Dunkin' franchisees across the United States. This milestone event took place in Newark, New Jersey, solidifying NDCP's commitment to improving operational efficiencies within the Dunkin' network.

Established as a $3 billion supply chain management company, NDCP offers invaluable support to over 10,000 Dunkin' quick service restaurants throughout the country. The Restaurant Solutions Team has played a pivotal role in designing, procuring, consolidating, and delivering tools and insights necessary to ensure the smooth opening of new stores and upgrades of existing ones.

Les Karel, Executive Vice President of Restaurant Solutions at NDCP, reflected on the accomplishment: "In the program's first three years, we accomplished supporting more than 750 projects, which speaks volumes about the resilience and unity of our co-op. Our ambition is to simplify complexities faced by Dunkin' operators with a consolidated solution focused on innovation and sustainability, driven by essential feedback from our members."

The collaborative effort by the NDCP team culminates in the comprehensive packages that franchisees like Adam Goldman—owner of the Newark Dunkin' store—rely on. Goldman expressed his satisfaction, stating, "I have participated in multiple initiatives with NDCP, and each experience showcases their flexibility and commitment to proactive communication, creating a seamless process for every project. Furthermore, knowing we're collaborating with our own company enhances our system's strength. NDCP continually incorporates our feedback to improve our operations."

What sets NDCP apart in the supply chain sector is its vast buying power, which enables it to secure competitive pricing on vital equipment and services. The Restaurant Solutions team ensures each package includes everything required to manage and maintain Dunkin' establishments effectively—from vital equipment to construction materials, guaranteeing a streamlined process that lowers costs and boosts efficiency.

Moreover, NDCP's robust infrastructure allows for effective procurement services and logistics support, pivotal in the delivery process. Managing projects that consist of crucial components for both the opening and renovating of stores contributes significantly to Dunkin' franchisees’ success in an ever-evolving industry.

In terms of scale, NDCP showcases its ability to handle substantial operations, with a staggering 700,000 deliveries each year, translating into over 86 million cases shipped. This logistics network spans across 40 countries and attests to NDCP's goal of sustainability, traceability, and ensuring continuity for food supply systems.

With nearly 2,000 employees and a footprint of 30+ logistics hubs, NDCP is genuinely a formidable force not only within the Dunkin' franchise network but also in the expansive landscape of fast-food supply chain management. The organization’s endeavors in the past years have driven cumulative savings exceeding $2 billion for franchisees through enhanced operational practices.

As National DCP embarks on its journey toward efficient growth, the prominence of connectivity between the franchise and supply chain management is clear. By aligning their goals and listening to continuous feedback, NDCP fosters a community that emphasizes cooperation and success for all Dunkin' franchises. As the relationship flourishes, both NDCP and Dunkin' are well-prepared for the challenges ahead, solidifying their market presence and operational excellence for years to come.
