About Bidfood

Bidfood Australia is a national foodservice distributor that supplies food, beverages, cleaning and catering products primarily to restaurants, cafes, pubs, clubs, healthcare facilities, schools, and other hospitality operators. Operating from multiple branches across Australia and headquartered in Sydney, Bidfood offers an extensive product range that includes fresh, frozen, chilled, and ambient foods, along with packaging and hospitality supplies. Most customers order through business accounts using Bidfood’s online ordering platform (myBidfood) or via sales representatives, with goods delivered directly to their premises.

A Bidfood charge typically appears on a bank or card statement when a business customer places an order for stock or catering supplies, or settles a monthly account. Charges can be for one-off orders, recurring or standing orders (for example, weekly deliveries), or consolidated invoices covering multiple deliveries within a billing period. You might also see separate entries for service fees, delivery charges, or credits/adjustments, and card payments may be processed under a specific local branch name or as “BIDFOOD” followed by a location. Some accounts are set up on 7‑, 14‑ or 30‑day terms, so the charge might correspond to an invoice issued days or weeks earlier.

If you’re unsure about a Bidfood charge, start by checking who in your organisation orders foodservice supplies, and compare the amount and date with recent Bidfood invoices or delivery dockets. Business customers can log into their myBidfood account to review past orders, invoices, and statements, or contact their local Bidfood branch or accounts receivable team using the phone number or email shown on their invoice or at bidfood.com.au. Common billing issues—such as duplicate payments, incorrect amounts, or unrecognised branch names—are usually resolved by providing your invoice number, account number, and charge date so Bidfood can trace the transaction and, where appropriate, issue a correction or refund.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there a Bidfood charge on my business card or bank statement?

Bidfood charges appear when your business has ordered foodservice, beverage, or catering supplies and paid by credit/debit card or via direct debit. The transaction usually corresponds to an invoice or delivery from your local Bidfood branch, and may show as “BIDFOOD” plus a city or branch name. Check with your kitchen, bar, or procurement staff to confirm a recent order that matches the amount and date of the charge.

What are common Bidfood charge amounts and billing patterns?

Bidfood charges vary widely depending on order size and frequency, from a few hundred dollars for small top‑up orders to several thousand dollars for larger venues or institutions. Many customers place regular weekly or multiple‑times‑per‑week orders, so you may see recurring charges around the same day each week that roughly align with your ordering cycle. Some accounts pay per invoice, while others make consolidated payments that match a statement or monthly total rather than a single delivery.

Can Bidfood place an authorisation hold or pending charge on my card?

In some cases, when a new card is added or a card payment is processed over the phone or online, your bank may show a temporary ‘pending’ or authorisation amount from Bidfood. This is used to confirm that the card is valid and funds are available. The hold should either convert to the final invoice amount or disappear automatically once the actual transaction is processed, usually within a few business days, depending on your bank.

How do I view invoices or receipts for a Bidfood charge?

If you have a Bidfood account, log into the myBidfood portal and go to the invoices or statements section to download copies that match the date and amount of the charge. You can also request copies of invoices or delivery dockets from your local Bidfood branch or your sales representative by providing your account number and the transaction date. For finance teams, the statement issued by Bidfood each period will detail all invoices that roll up into any consolidated payment.

How do I cancel or change recurring orders with Bidfood?

Bidfood does not operate consumer-style subscriptions, but many hospitality customers set up regular or template orders. To cancel or change these, log into myBidfood and adjust or delete your saved order templates, standing orders, or favourites before the cut‑off time, or contact your local branch or sales rep directly. If an order has already been picked or dispatched, changes or cancellations may be limited and could be subject to your agreed trading terms.

How can I dispute a Bidfood charge or request a refund/credit?

Contact your local Bidfood branch’s accounts receivable team or the contact listed on your invoice as soon as you notice an issue, and provide your account number, invoice number, and the exact amount and date of the charge. Bidfood will investigate issues such as duplicate billing, pricing errors, short deliveries, or returns in line with its trading and credit policies. If a correction is approved, it is usually processed as a credit note against your account or, for card payments, as a card refund via the original payment method.

What should I do if my organisation doesn’t use Bidfood but I still see this charge?

First confirm internally that no department, venue manager, or event team set up a Bidfood account or one‑off order—for example for a function, off‑site event, or catering trial. If no one recognises the transaction, contact Bidfood using the details at bidfood.com.au or on the statement descriptor (if a phone number is shown) and provide the transaction date, amount, and the last four digits of the card. They can usually confirm whether the charge matches a valid customer account; if it does not, contact your bank immediately to report a potentially fraudulent transaction and request a card replacement.
