First, invite public bidding for the distribution service of ingredients

As far as the current market is concerned, most food suppliers in public canteens seek cooperation by bidding to evaluate the overall operation and distribution strength of major distribution companies. This paper mainly analyzes the distribution vehicles, enterprise qualifications, logistics delivery methods, food safety detection indicators, and the cultivation base of vegetables and fruits, and selects food distribution companies with high food safety technology, strong distribution business ability and cheap vegetables and fruits from many food distribution service enterprises. However, there are fewer bids for private enterprise canteens, and more are settled by relationships.

Second, we should visit and evaluate the distribution companies on the spot.

Before establishing cooperation, the staff of public canteens will go to several canteen distribution companies for on-the-spot assessment, and observe whether the environment of the canteen distribution companies is clean, whether the personnel and equipment are complete, and whether the warehouses have suitable conditions to store ingredients, because the strength of the canteen distribution companies can be more deeply understood through on-the-spot investigation. Private enterprise canteens rarely take this into account. On the one hand, there are not enough staff, and on the other hand, it is easy to ignore this point.

Third, transportation and receipt

The staff of public canteens can explain the order by contacting the staff of the distribution company. The staff will prepare the goods according to the customer's order and deliver the dishes to the canteen in time. The staff of the canteen will conduct inspection to confirm whether the ingredients are fresh and safe on the spot. If they find unqualified ingredients, they can ask the distribution company to re-deliver them. Because there are many related households in private enterprise canteens, it is difficult to control this aspect, or it is not done.

In addition, private enterprise canteens are generally small in scale, with few facilities, and basically no goods are stocked or rarely stocked. The basic facilities of the unit canteen are relatively complete, and there will be many self-made food machines. Many unit canteens even have take-out windows, so they have a certain ability to process food by themselves, and they will stock more rice, flour and oil. At present, many unit canteens are doing to reduce the cost of stocking, while private enterprise canteens generally consider this aspect less.

First, the inventory cost is decreasing.

The canteen distribution can reduce the inventory pressure and reduce the warehouse area. The bulk of the canteen cost is the cost of electricity. Several large refrigerators work 24 hours a day, which has brought huge waste in the long run, but fresh raw materials have to be kept at a certain temperature. Now, everything is handed over to the distribution center, and the other party bears the inventory pressure. It is simple and effective to deliver only when needed.

Second, avoid billing errors

Managing the kitchen is a complicated and accurate job. How many people have meals every day, how many raw materials are needed, and how much is left in stock. After a long time, work errors will inevitably occur. There are hundreds of kinds of rice, oil, salt, vinegar, tea and raw materials for agricultural products and fruits and vegetables. In order to avoid billing more or less, the invoicing system is adopted to achieve accurate positioning, and there will be no work omissions.

Third, whether you can always use fresh dishes

depends mainly on the raw materials, which are fresh, and the taste and nutrition can be guaranteed. However, the accumulation of a large number of raw materials in the canteen will inevitably lead to some early purchases that have passed the shelf life, and some of them are still fresh, but they are inexplicably used first, thus causing food safety hazards or a lot of waste. Leave everything to the distribution center, make purchases when necessary, and come to the door for half an hour.

Fourth, it is more convenient to settle accounts

Every day, purchasing personnel need to go to various farmers' markets to pay, and sometimes they have to settle accounts with dozens of material suppliers to prepare meals for one day, which not only delays time, but also causes huge capital occupation. Cooperation with distribution centers is often settled on a monthly basis, and the amount is displayed in the background system, which greatly satisfies the efficient operation of accounting.

Canteen distribution has gradually become the mainstream of the industry. The monthly operating expenses of a large canteen range from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Since this form of cooperation, the efficiency has been improved, the complaint rate has been reduced, the contractor of the canteen has reduced the difficulty of operation and is more confident in the future. Choosing a reputable and well-known food distribution company must be the top priority of the kitchen contracting industry.
