The World's Largest Foodservice Supply Chain — Scale, Speed, and the "Access Network"

Sysco operates 340 distribution centers in 10 countries with ~76,000 employees and serves 730,000+ customer locations — the largest foodservice distribution network on Earth. CEO Kevin Hourican frames the future as a shift from a "delivery network" to an "access network," where customers can reach Sysco through delivery, digital marketplace, and (post Restaurant Depot) cash-and-carry. This module gives operations, supply chain, logistics, and warehouse candidates the language to talk about Sysco's scale credibly.
