December’s Pressure Is Real, But Our Customers Don’t Panic
For butchers, retailers and distributors, December isn’t just another month. It’s the busiest, most demanding stretch of the year where supply issues, missed deliveries or stock shortages can cost real revenue and damage hard-earned reputations.
At Mountain View Poultry, we know what’s at stake. That’s why our customers across Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and beyond don’t panic when the pressure’s on. They trust that we’ve done the work behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly, even when demand peaks.
Here’s how we do it and how that benefits every business we supply.
1. It Starts With Planning, Not Guesswork
By the time December rolls around, we’re not scrambling, we’re executing.
We work months in advance to prepare for seasonal demand spikes. That includes:
- Forecasting volumes based on previous years and updated client needs
- Confirming lead times and delivery schedules with our customers well before the holiday rush
- Adjusting production and processing capacity to meet order volumes without compromising quality
- Keeping communication open, so everyone knows what to expect
This means less last-minute stress, fewer disruptions and more confidence in your holiday operations.
2. Transparent Communication Is Our Default
No vague timelines. No radio silence. No scrambling to explain delays.
We prioritise proactive, clear communication with every client. During peak periods, this becomes even more important. If something’s shifting, whether it’s a delivery window or an update on product availability, we’re on the phone or email early, not after the fact.
That means:
- You know what’s arriving and when
- You can communicate clearly with your own customers
- You avoid being caught off guard
Trust isn’t just about the product. It’s about the process. We treat communication as part of the service, not an afterthought.
3. Reliable Doesn’t Mean Rigid
While we encourage early ordering and planning, we also understand December can throw curveballs. That’s why we build flexibility into our systems, where it’s possible.
If you need a small volume adjustment or a change to your usual cut, we’ll do our best to make it work, without disrupting your operations or ours.
It’s about balancing:
- Consistency in service with
- A willingness to listen and respond
We’re not promising miracles. But we do promise responsiveness and a genuine interest in helping our partners keep their shelves full and customers happy.
4. Local Supply = Shorter Transport, Fresher Product
Being based in South East Queensland means we’re close to the businesses we serve. Our poultry and eggs don’t travel thousands of kilometres. That becomes a real advantage in December, when national supply chains can get clogged and unreliable.
The result:
- Fresher product, delivered faster
- Less risk of transport delays
- A lower carbon footprint that today’s consumers value
Local isn’t just a feel-good story. In December, it’s a business advantage.
5. Our People Are the Difference
From our processing team to our drivers to our admin staff, everyone at Mountain View Poultry knows how important December is to our clients.
We take pride in:
- Showing up on time
- Keeping standards high even under pressure
- Communicating like a true partner
- Owning problems and solving them quickly
It’s not just about what we deliver, but how we show up. That’s what turns a supplier into a partner.
6. What This Means for You
When you work with Mountain View Poultry, you’re not just ordering chicken or eggs. You’re securing:
- Peace of mind that your order will arrive when it should
- Confidence that quality won’t slip, even in high volumes
- Fewer headaches for you and your staff
- More trust from your own customers
- A supplier who’s thinking ahead, not just reacting
In a month where every day counts, calm, consistent supply isn’t a luxury, it’s a competitive edge.
7. Looking Ahead: Let’s Make Next December Even Smoother
This month, while you’re busy serving your own customers, we’re already thinking ahead to 2026.
We invite all our partners to:
- Share feedback on how this December is going
- Lock in preferred delivery schedules for next year
- Explore new customisation options for cuts
- Discuss how we can improve together
Because a great December doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through partnership.
