FOODSERVICE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

Multi-Stakeholder Reporting Needs

Foodservice management companies require efficient ingestion and standardization of transactional data from multiple sources for the valuable insights needed by internal teams to meet customer expectations and win and retain business. Added to this complexity are shifting definitions for local and sustainable and reporting needs varying by client, demographic, and region.

  GPO AND SELF-OP SOLUTIONS

Ingredient To Recipe Transparency

Today’s diners demand visibility into the source and quality of their food. Self-Operating locations and Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO) managing cafes at campuses, workplaces, healthcare organizations, and schools  increase participation by procuring ingredients that clearly identify allergen, dietary, and local and sustainable attributes to create recipes that meet diverse dining preferences.

Supplier Diversity Management

Adding to this data complexity is the need to actively bring diversity to the supply chain with visible and quantifiable support of local farms and small and minority-owned businesses. Scaling this effort requires the ability to balance local supplier networks across multiple regions with consistent food safety and compliance protocols. Supplier visibility is key to regional supply chain success.

Multi-Stakeholder Compliance and Reporting

Whether it be the need for a local program, measuring diverse community business support or monitoring the food safety compliance of visiting vendors at your foodservice locations, the key to bringing menu innovation and diverse menu options to your diners is dependent on systems that provide transparency, turnkey program management, and the ability to tell the story of your sustainable efforts.
