What will the frequency of the deliveries be?Delivery is twice a week between April and October (We prefer Monday and Thursday). The main product is milk. At the busiest peak (May through October), I have ordered as much as 20,000 cartons of milk for a three to four day period. During the winter months it could be as low as only 500 cartons. The sour cream and cottage cheese are only on 3-4 menus so the frequency of ordering would be a lot lower, but will be a high volume when it is required.
