Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
The Company’s business consists of three operating segments: East, Midwest and West that aggregate into one reportable segment, foodservice distribution, which is concentrated primarily in the United States.

The accounting policies of the foodservice distribution segment are the same as those described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, who is the Company’s chief executive officer, uses gross profit as the measure of profit or loss to assess segment performance and allocate resources.

Consolidated gross profit, reported on the statement of operations and comprehensive income, is used to evaluate whether to reinvest profits into the foodservice distribution segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or to repurchase its common shares. Additionally, gross profit is used to monitor budget versus actual results and in competitive
analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s competitors. Consolidated total assets, reported on the balance sheet, is the measure of segment assets.

The following table presents information about the Company’s foodservice distribution segment:
