Welcome To Complete Supply Solutions Ltd.

Are you sure your catering department is as cost efficient as it could be? If not... Why not?

Catering facilities whether contracted or in-house impact your business both financially and legally... So

you must ensure you choose your catering consultants "independently" of your catering department.

Independent catering consultancy: If your contract caterer organises or even recommends a catering consultant it unfortunately guarantees a bias towards the caterer. Useful for the caterer but a pointless audit from your point of view because you will not see any data that could impact costs or undermine the catering contract negatively...

Your audit must safeguard your interests as the employer not the caterers, the two are entirely different!

The employer's interests: To reduce operational risk, catering subsidy and be able to demonstrate due diligence.

The contract caterers: To improve bottom line profit for the caterer and retain the catering contract.

YOU ARE HELD LIABLE FOR EMPLOYEE WELFARE STANDARDS SO WHY DON'T YOU HAVE CONTROL?

IT IS A COMPLETE MISCONCEPTION TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR CATERER'S PERFORMANCE IS THEIR PROBLEM...

As an employer you need control
To audit catering performance standards effectively you need unbiased data! Only then can you manage catering costs and your duty of care. This is why you are at risk if reliant on data from a catering consultancy chosen by your caterers or vending suppliers.
Common law duties
Catering standards directly impact your duty for employee welfare which is personal and non-delegable.
To ensure complete autonomy any catering consultants should be independently selected by you as the duty holder. Using your catering contract or vending contracts as a defence for poor food hygiene standards is no excuse; as an employer you are the duty holder, you have a duty of care for the health and well being of your employees!
Operational risk
Benchmarking all food hygiene standards proves due diligence; unbiased data returns added value.
Once you can prove due diligence you can impact employer liability your catering subsidy and vending costs!

FACT: Food hygiene standards directly impact YOUR employee welfare standards.

Do you think your food standards are good and if so compared to what? Good or bad could even describe identical situations dependent on interpretation.

This clearly proves your lack of control, meaning you are most likely paying unnecessary costs.
This also demonstrates you may not be compliant , food hygiene standards could be poor & risk high.
To control vending & catering costs you must first measure employee welfare standards.

See Purchasing page for financial benefits. Your situation is no different to that faced by any of our customers.
Food poisoning risk; your food hygiene standards. How many days production does your business lose per year to food poisoning? It's more common than you may think which is why we include laboratory testing with every assessment! Most food poisoning is never reported however typically the lowest UK stat's still show around 80,000 food poisoning cases per year with the true figure being 10x times this.

Actual levels are between 850,000 estimated by the FSA (Food standards agency) to **1.2 million as estimated by leading experts.

Even at the most conservative of estimates this represents a significant % of the working population.

**The Food Safety Handbook (Level 2) states 1.2 million cases!!"

In summary.

As experienced catering consultants we help you reduce your costs along with operational risk while improving food standards for your employees! It's just about ensuring that when it comes to employee's welfare you are in control.

For control you must have all of the facts. Good and bad!
To establish the facts you need independently compiled data with all vested interest removed; "bias free".
Data helps with due diligence, impacting liability and ensuring catering budgets work harder!
