1. Why is supplier diversity important to Brinker?
At Brinker, one of our core values is to value diversity in people and perspectives. In order to be truly successful, we understand the need to embrace diversity among our employees, guests, communities and suppliers.

We realize these groups are truly interconnected. Our suppliers are also our guests. Together our suppliers and our employees comprise the communities in which we serve. By generating wealth and opportunity among our suppliers, we inevitably create a stronger and more prosperous community in which we conduct business.

2. Why is minority or woman-owned certification important?
Due to the rigorous and stringent certification process involved in being recognized as a minority or woman-owned supplier by a third-party accredited organization, certification provides objective confirmation of ownership and management status.

3. My company is not a certified minority or woman-owned company.Can my company still become an approved supplier?
In order to be recognized through our Supplier Diversity program, a company must be certified as minority or woman-owned.

However, Brinker works with all types of companies which meet our procurement qualifications.

If you are uncertain whether your company falls within the parameters of our Supplier Diversity program, contact us at PurchasingSuppliers@brinker.com.

4. What happens after I submit a Supplier Profile Form?
