Our Customers Come First

We make your success our business because independent food service is our passion. Morton services a broad range of dining establishments, from everyday to gourmet. We have built long-term relationships with many independent family-owned restaurants, roadhouses, local pubs, catering businesses and more.

We also serve some of Ontario’s leading golf courses and country clubs, fine dining establishments and specialty restaurants – from Italian trattorias and French bistros to that intimate steak house on the corner. With all of our customers we focus on the three pillars of successful restaurants: consistency in food quality, service and atmosphere.

Investing In Our Clients' Success

Our product offering is designed to grow your business and delight your customers, whether you’re selling a burger or a fine dining experience.

Canadian products – including those from right here in Ontario – are of the highest quality. They’re also sustainable, environmentally-friendly and hold a traceability standard.
Local products taste better because they are harvested while in season and travel shorter distances to get to your plate.
We believe in strengthening the communities we operate in by stimulating the economic cycle close to home. Eat local, buy local, support local – it’s worth it.

Morton understands how a restaurant works. Their service is far superior to other options - I feel like they’d do anything it takes to get you what you need. They’re flexible with you so you can be flexible with your customers. A restaurant is a fluid, dynamic place and when you deal with a company like Morton, with a bigger focus on service, it’s really helpful.

– Doug Kalapos,
Billy's Tap House

As an independent restauranteur, having an independent restaurant supplier works for us. It’s a great working relationship. They always strive to get products that best meet our needs, especially with local foods. They took us out to a local farm to meet the producer, and we got exactly what we wanted in the end. They have great knowledge of what we need, and consistently go above and beyond.

– Ryan Odette,
Mamo Burger and Vine + Ash

Ease of service is what sets Morton apart. When I switched over, I was floored by their customer care - it’s through the roof. I’m telling you, I’ve never gone without. Morton usually has what I need but if they don’t, they will always go and find it for you. I feel like they work with us and are here to help the smaller guys. From a customer satisfaction perspective, they check all the boxes.

– Matt Boschman,
Brantford Golf and Country Club

Our Morton rep is like family to our business. They’re always there, even at the last second. They know what my business needs instead of just selling me random things. There’s no price gouging. Their transparency is everything - they have no problem turning around the laptop to show you exactly how much things cost, what they’re making and what they’re saving you. They’re not looking for volume, they’re trying to get you the right products.

– WIll Thompson,
Stillwaters Plate & Pour

The client service has always been wonderful. Our rep himself is here a couple of times a week. We really like the relationship - we’ve been approached by bigger companies but the relationship is key to us. We can always rely on Morton.

– Kelly Turner,
Angel Inn

Morton has an incredible selection of locally-sourced products and has been amazing at procuring whatever else we need. They sit with us as we go through menu development, talk about how to launch things and figure out systems that really work for our needs. I’ve worked with other companies and nothing has been quite as personal. My relationship with them is phenomenal.

– Court Desautels,
The Neighbourhood Group
