Contract Caterers
FDH is a specialist when it comes to understanding the requirements of contract caterers and facilities management organisations. Contract business is all about tight margins across numerous sites, trying to meet customer expectations which frequently vary, and often trying to achieve a financial return within a relatively short contract timescale. Add to that the current high rate of food cost inflation, and effective management of tight margins has never been more important!
Contractors operating over many sites invariably face the challenge of getting data accurately and swiftly into centre, firstly so that management are aware of latest cost and revenue performance, and also so that client invoicing routines are as rapid as possible. Saffron Zest allows user defined formats of data to be collected into a central web site, from where it can be downloaded into corporate financial systems. From simple starting points, Saffron can then be incrementally used on specialist sites, so that the full power of Saffron Spice is available to those that need it.
The culture of any organisation is important when choosing business tools and software applications, and while FDH looks after some major contract caterers, we also work with many smaller niche operators too. This just proves that we do understand the contract catering market, and we do offer value to the bottom line!
