Catering Supply – Problems and Opportunities

Abstract

The way that food supply companies have structured themselves in order to maximise their sales to the retail chain are examined. How appropriate this structure is for supplying the catering market is examined, and how food companies are coping with the strains of this structure are identified. The role of the intermediate distributor in the distribution chain is assessed.
