How do you work with rate cards?

We work off your rate cards. Compass Constellation, Sodexo, Elior — we have all the current rates and margin structures. We're transparent about what we're working with.

We already use other agencies — why add you?

You don't have to switch. Most of our big clients use us alongside existing suppliers. Give us your toughest weekend — the one where your usual agencies struggle. If we deliver, you'll see why Compass and Sodexo give us significant volume.

The Challenge

We Understand Contract Catering

Current Suppliers Not Hitting KPIs

You have agencies on your PSL but their fulfilment rate is dragging down your numbers.

Multiple Agencies to Manage

You're juggling 5-6 suppliers just to fill your rota. Different contacts, different systems, different excuses.

PSL Doesn't Mean Performance

Being on a preferred supplier list is easy. Actually delivering 95%+ fulfilment is hard.

Happy Clients

For role-specific briefs, most PSL volume runs through our Chef de Partie hire route or, where rota gaps run a week or more, a relief chef booking. When the call is same-day, our 2-hour response commitment covers central postcodes 24/7. For rate-card reviews, the UK chef hire rate benchmark sets the independent context. Where the contract is a healthcare or care-group account, our care home chef agency standard applies on top of the rate-card terms.

Priority contract catering pages

Contract catering staff by city

Use these pages when the brief is tied to a city, contract catering site, or PSL rota rather than a national account view.
