University Caterers to Benefit from New Supplier Partnership

University caterers will have greater access to management systems that can help run their business more smoothly, following a new partnership between two suppliers, Fretwell-Downing Hospitality (FDH) and Counter Solutions.

 

Hospitality management software system supplier FDH has appointed Counter Solutions, a leading provider of cashless and card-based systems to the university and hospitality sectors, as a partner and distributor. 

 

Through the partnership, Counter Solutions will exclusively promote to its clients the FDH Saffron Spice software management system, and will have exclusive sales rights for the software into the UK university sector.

 

Saffron Spice is a modular system covering multi-site stock control with full purchase, production and sales control modules and detailed management reporting. Full nutritional analysis routines are also available, together with interfaces to third party finance, HR and e-procurement systems.

 

After a detailed market survey of back office software, Counter Solutions, which has recently invested heavily in a new generation of web-based cashless systems, decided to expand its portfolio further with Saffron Spice as a complementary and high quality system that helps caterers work even smarter in a competitive environment.

 

John Norton, Commercial Director for Counter Solutions, commented “The addition of Saffron Spice to our product portfolio provides another, ‘best of breed’ application to both future and existing clients, whilst enabling us to focus on the continuing development of our core cashless applications.  This dual strategy will provide clients a further opportunity to access the unique business benefits this mix of products can provide.”

 

Charles Mobbs, Managing Director of Fretwell-Downing Hospitality Limited added: “We look forward to working with Counter Solutions, and are delighted that they have endorsed the Saffron Spice system as the best stock management system available in the marketplace. The combination of our two systems will represent an incredibly strong offer in many market sectors.”
