Contract Catering - the Enigma
There are some excellent contract catering companies in this industry, ethical and professional, companies who do
“just what it says on the tin!”
It may be the service you are receiving is fair and performing well to the agreed terms of the contract.... great!
However some Caterers within this market can be a little Machiavellian when it comes to charging for their services, often being less than transparent. It is a common practice within the industry to inflate labour costs and to mark up into-unit prices for goods purchased, to retain supplier discounts and then not to disclose over-riders which the catering companies receive.
Additional costs may be charged to your accounts for marketing, training, audits and support staff which have not been agreed. Sundry costs and stock levels are often inflated and manipulated to enhance or cover up poor performance and there is a common practice of understating sales turnover.
Our years of experience have given us a unique knowledge of the industry and the business practices of contract caterers:
"We know how it Works!"
