After deciding to outsource your organization’s catering to relieve you of the burden of managing the operation, you can build almost anything into the contract with the catering management company providing it is reasonable, acceptable and priced accordingly.
All Day Menu Available?
The size of your organization will have a bearing on the type of food and beverage services offered by your catering management company. While your consideration will be more about quality, pricing, and variety, the catering company must be able to provide a financially viable package and deal to be effective.
For larger organizations, your catering management company may be able to provide food and beverage menus to cover from breakfast all the way through to an evening meal, encompassing healthy snacks, coffee breaks, a wide range of smoothies and full meals where employees must work across lunch and perhaps, dinner.
Catering for Employees Who Work Elsewhere
Sometimes, employees start the working day at the head office, then head out to spend most of the day traveling and then returning to the office later in the day. In this instance, it will be an advantage to the employer and employees to have provided healthy snacks and meals that can be taken away from the premises and consumed during the day.
This provides the benefit of ensuring that energy is provided from a good source of food and beverages, keeping the employee at full power throughout their working day. The advantage to the employer is that this provides the opportunity to keep employees away from wasting time driving or traveling to find fast food operations while out and busy.
While away from your establishment, it is too easy to eat and drink unhealthy foods which will lead to more sick days than the average healthy individual. By providing great habits, the take-out food and drinks will be ideal for the employees, providing there is a sense of pride for the environment and the need to package the food and drinks effectively are important.
