Our business
How we work
We work in partnership with our clients, usually on their premises, utilising their equipment and facilities to provide foodservice and support services solutions tailored to the needs of consumers.
Contracts with our clients are usually based around one of four models:
Management fee
All of the operating costs are paid by the contractor and recharged to the client along with an agreed fee. This type of arrangement is most often used where the client is subsidising the food offer.
Fixed price
The client pays an agreed price for a specified range of services. This may be varied, for example, if the number of consumers changes considerably.
Profit & loss
The foodservice contractor has control over the offer to the consumer and sets the price. This type of arrangement usually occurs where there is little or no client subsidy.
Concessions
The foodservice contractor pays an agreed percentage of revenue for the right to trade at the clients’ premises. This type of arrangement is widely used in the leisure sector.
