Taco Bell Honors Wasserstrom as Top Equipment and Smallwares Supplier

Wasserstrom has received the 2024 Taco Bell Star Award for Equipment and Smallwares Supplier of the Year.

The Star Awards are presented by Yum! Brands, Taco Bell’s parent company, and recognize suppliers who demonstrate outstanding performance in areas such as customer service, product quality and innovation. This is the fifth time Wasserstrom has won a Star Award and the third time for the equipment and smallwares category.

“In 2024, we launched twice as many LTOs [limited-time offers], which means twice as many smallwares, twice as much coordination and twice as fast,” Jon Quan Sr., manager in engineering at Taco Bell, said during the awards ceremony. “Wasserstrom has been a vital part in supporting our restaurant operations. The magnitude of this business involves hundreds of thousands of smallware orders for our stores.” Quan further praised Wasserstrom’s ability to handle projects with professionalism, deliver new store packages on time and react quickly to accommodate requests.

“We are proud to receive this award,” said Chad Cerra, assistant vice president of national smallwares at Wasserstrom. “To be recognized by Taco Bell in this manner reflects the hard work and dedication of our team and the partnership we have with RSCS [Restaurant Supply Chain Solutions] and the brand.”
