Already have a caterer? Here is why people switch.

Most of our clients came to us from another provider. These are the problems they brought with them.

01

Nobody uses the canteen

Tired menus send people out to the shop. At Amphenol, canteen uptake rose 41% after we took over.

02

The bill keeps creeping

Open-book costs, clear pricing and no hidden rebates and clear pricing. You see where every pound goes.

03

Compliance is your headache

Food safety, HACCP and allergen records are run and controlled by us, so you are not chasing paperwork.

Every sauce made in our kitchen. Not a single jar.

Bolognese, tikka, chilli, gravy: every sauce we serve starts as raw ingredients on our stove, not a jar off a shelf. It is slower and it costs us more. It is also why people come back for seconds.

TNINE workplace pre-ordering app: staff order ahead on their phone and collect at the counter

Staff pre-order app

Staff order breakfast or lunch from their phone, choose a collection time and walk straight past the queue. More of their break spent eating, less of it standing in line.

TNINE school meals portal: parents only see what their child can safely eat
Schools

Parent ordering portal

Parents book their child’s meals a week ahead from their phone. No passwords, no paper forms. Allergens are declared by parents and confirmed by the school before anything reaches the kitchen, and our chefs work from a named serve list for every child.

Every site

Compliance app

Our own compliance app keeps food safety and HACCP records digital, live and controlled by us on every site. Nothing for your team to chase or file.

Our public promise: scratch cooked school meals at state school prices by September 2027.

We already run our school service very close to state catering budgets. We are closing the rest of the gap in the open, and sharing how we do it as we go.
