You may well have poor catering standards!
From a compliance and due diligence point of view how
can you be sure you have poor catering standards?
You can't define poor; it's subjective and unquantifiable!
As an employer whether you have contract catering
services or in house catering you must protect your
employees; this is demonstrated through benchmarking
standards.
If you don't, as an employer you are vulnerable...

What is your benchmark?
From a due diligence and compliance point of view the three catering examples listed below could even describe the same situation! This graphically demonstrates that without statistical data you are vulnerable.
Three examples:
|
Are employee welfare and catering standards “poor” because of what your employees believe?
If so this is certainly a case where familiarity breeds contempt and there are usually ulterior motives.
|
|
Are employee welfare and catering standards "good” because of what your suppliers tell you?
It’s questionable because if left to police themselves, whether you have in-house catering or contract
catering services; it really doesn't matter. They all have a clear vested interest in not publishing any facts
that could jeopardise the catering contract!
|
|
Maybe employee welfare and catering standards are “excellent” based on personal experiences i.e.
compared to previous in-house catering suppliers,contract caterers or vending operator standards?
Your previous contract catering supplier could have been very poor indeed.
|
Once benchmarked what are the main benefits for you?
You reduce catering related costs, site risk and of course clearly improve general quality standards
for your employees.
Once armed with data and recommendations you have control enabling clear direction; applicable to
both contract catering services, or in house catering. This will also help you control vending standards.
With assessment recommendations you can easily target resource resolving minor issues before they
become major problems.
All dialogue with your in-house caterers or contract caterers and vending operators will be specific,
meaningful and have purpose; this gives you the best possible chance of improving existing services.
|
It’s important to underline that an employee welfare assessment is about establishing
best practice; not the best and most expensive equipment.
So this is NOT about changing your contract catering suppliers or having to invest
vast sums even if we establish that you have poor catering standards!!
|
What is best for me?
There are no statistics that say in-house catering offers better standards than contract catering services or operator vending standards. Some of the highest scores are achieved by sites that exercise tight control over quantified standards; what makes them special is they can then apply best practice and work to set benchmarked guidelines.
