Hi,

It’s great to connect with you.

Let’s build a reliable packaging supply chain for Wendy’s franchise network. 

Product Solutions

Scaling with A Canadian Packaging Provider

Wendy’s Canada’s rapid expansion, driven by strong franchisee support and an innovative acquisition and franchising strategy, has redefined the North American QSR landscape. As you continue expanding in Canada (specifically Quebec) and the U.S. amid market fluctuations, I imagine the Quality Supply Chain Co-op team is evaluating your supply chain and packaging suppliers to ensure reliability, cost-stability, and compliance in your operations. 

As a full-service, custom takeout packaging and supply chain solutions provider with 35+ years’ experience and partnerships with industry giants like McDonald’s and Edo Japan, Origin Sustainables offers tailored procurement and complete inventory management to achieve 99.7% fulfillment to all franchise locations. 

Addressing Wendy's Supply Chain and Packaging Challenges

To demonstrate our commitment to supporting your packaging needs, we visited multiple Wendy’s locations in B.C., conducting a comprehensive assessment that identified four key priorities where Origin can streamline your operations and ensure consistent, cost-effective packaging across your expanding Canadian franchise network:  

Scalability

With a BC headquarters and national reach, we deliver a 99.7% fulfillment rate to all Wendy’s locations through data-driven inventory management, tailored and adaptable storage and distribution networks, and partnerships with high-volume manufacturers. 

Compliance

Aligning with Wendy’s commitment to responsible sourcing, we partner exclusively with certified overseas manufacturers who meet rigorous sustainability standards and ethical sourcing requirements for packaging production.

Reliability

By leveraging real-time monitoring and in-house quality control, we ensure on-time delivery and consistent product quality, minimizing risk for the QSCC team and reinforcing trust with franchisees.

 

Centralization

As your single-source packaging supplier, we consolidate Wendy’s packaging needs to deliver competitive volume pricing, consistent quality, and a dedicated account manager to reduce supply chain oversight and inventory management.
