Since January 2020, allmanhall has seen an increase in enquiries from educational establishments looking for support with food cost reduction and price rise risk mitigation. Sixteen years of working within the education sector places allmanhall in a good position to understand the resource and workforce challenges and pressures faced by many at present. These establishments are looking for more efficient purchasing and procurement practices, which allmanhall is able to offer. This together with greater visibility of data, and enhancing the sustainability of menus via the industry-leading catering control platforms and exclusive partnership with Foodsteps that allmanhall has in place, have been key factors in driving this new and repeat business.
