Catalog
Contents
The Catalog tab displays our full catalog of products available for you to order. This is a useful tool if you want to locate items to purchase and you want our full catalog to search. Use the View drop down menu to select how you want to see our catalog displayed. Select from All Items, By Class, By Brand and Item Tags.
By Class
When selecting this tab, you will first see a list of all our product “By Class”. These classes represent how we have grouped similar items together and will help you search for items. You will notice that there are numbers in parentheses next to each class name. These numbers represent the number of items in that class. When you click on a specific class, then all of the items within that class will appear. This is an example of the Catalog page viewed “By Class” with class images.
All Items
You can instead go directly into our complete product listing by clicking the drop down arrow next to “View,” and select “All Items”. Our complete product listing will begin to display, sorted by class. This is an example of the Catalog page with “All Items” and images turned off.
You will notice that you can enter quantities on this screen for each product you would like to order. Simply enter the quantity required by typing in the number or using the up/down arrow keys next to each item to increase/decrease your ordered amount. As items are ordered, they will automatically appear in the shopping cart on the right of the screen.
By Brand
Select “By Brand” from the View drop down menu to view our current Brands. The numbers in parentheses next to each Brand name represent the number of items for that brand in our catalog.
Featured Brand
You may see Brand images displayed in the lower section of the Shopping Cart area, these are our "Featured Brands" (Blue Plate in the prior By Brand image).
If you click the green Shop Now link the catalog page will display all the items for that brand in our catalog.
If you mouse over the brand image the slide controls will display so you can view all our Featured Brands at your own pace. |

Item Searches
To help you find items, use the “Search” feature at the top of the screen. You can change how the search will work by hitting the drop down arrow in the Search area. The Search normally defaults to “Item Description,” but you can also search by “Class,” “Brand,” or “Item Number.”
To search, enter the text of what you are looking for in the keyword area. The keyword area accepts full or partial words. Next hit the Enter key or click the magnifying glass 
to begin the search.
Item Tags in the Catalog
Our customers now have an additional way to find products for their order by using Item Tags that we have assigned to items in our inventory. Item Tags like Dairy Free, Egg Free, Peanut Free, Gluten Free, Kosher, USDA Low Fat, USDA Organic, USDA Good Fiber, and USDA Low Sodium may have been assigned to the products in our catalog. To find a list of our currently active Item Tags check the View drop down list in the Catalog tab.
To use Item Tags to filter your view of our product catalog just select the specific item tag from the View drop down list.
Now only the items that have been assigned to that item tag will be displayed in the Catalog page.
Select the items and quantities you want to add to your order and follow the normal order procedure as detailed in this guide. |
