We already use other agencies — why add you?

The Challenge

Contract catering staff agency that understands the brief

Chefs Bay is the contract catering staff agency Compass Group, Sodexo Live and Aramark account managers call when a London or regional site cannot afford a no-show. The same bench backs our London contract catering staff matrix page for sites looking for postcode-specific cover.

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, our relief chef agency. 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.
