The science behind managing catering food budgets

We track the market data. You do the catering.

We assist the catering functions of every type of organisation to identify internal and external procurement opportunities through our daily benchmarking of food prices. This gives organisations the assurance of knowing they are competitive at all times.

We do this using a range of benchmark reports that monitor food & commodity price inflation. This gives an independent perspective on how well you are performing and the ability to identify opportunities towards improving efficiencies, and prioritise areas of expenditure.
