Regions · Istanbul
Istanbul: Türkiye's largest consumer market, its tightest delivery windows.
Thousands of restaurants, hotels and shops in one city — two sides, bridge traffic and narrow delivery times turn every route into its own planning task.
What the market looks like here
Istanbul is the centre of food consumption and wholesale distribution in Türkiye. Food service wholesalers, cash-and-carry markets and importers deliver to thousands of restaurants, hotels and cafés every day; the delivery window is set by the kitchen's opening time, not by the warehouse schedule.
The city is also one of the major centres of döner and meat production. Producers supply takeaways and restaurants in the city, across Anatolia and partly abroad with frozen goods; in an inspection it must be provable which meat and spice batch each skewer came from.
With distribution split between the European and Asian sides, a wrongly picked order gets expensive: a single missing box often means a second trip through traffic.
Especially common here
- Doner production Production and delivery under one roof — with one batch connecting both.
- Gastro wholesale Your customers open at 11. What is missing at 10 is missing on the plate.
- Wholesale markets Hundreds of articles, dozens of pickups, one single afternoon.
