Catering Benchmarking
How does your catering service compare?
A catering contract can appear to be working, while still leaving questions around cost, performance, supplier delivery and value.
Your catering service may appear to be working well, while still leaving questions about cost, performance and value.
Rue Consultancy provides independent catering benchmarking for organisations in the UK and internationally. We help you understand how your workplace catering service compares and whether it is delivering the right value for your organisation.
We look at the information available about your service and set it in context, so you have a clearer evidence base for your next decision.
-
Cost is only part of the picture. We consider how the service is performing against your organisation’s needs, including relevant service information, reporting and the experience of the people using it.

Benchmarking gives you a clearer basis for deciding where to focus. It can help inform a conversation about improving the current service, reviewing arrangements or considering future options.
When catering benchmarking is useful
Catering benchmarking can be useful when costs are rising, the service has changed, or you need a clearer picture of value before making decisions about your workplace catering. It can also help when you want to understand how current performance compares with relevant measures.
Benchmarking focuses on comparison and context. A catering contract review looks more closely at how the current contract is working in practice.
Benchmarking is not about finding the cheapest catering service. It is about understanding whether the cost, performance and service are right for your organisation.
