Your supplier can fund the expertise. Your team can focus on the food.
We first negotiate with your current foodservice supplier to fund your DishLab project. Alternatively, we can introduce one of our trusted national partners, with products of the same or better agreed quality.
The foodservice supplier pays DishLab for the project agreed with you. You continue paying for your food as normal.
The development scope, any purchasing commitments and supply terms are set out before proceeding. Funding is subject to an agreement with the supplier; it is not an unconditional offer of every DishLab service.
We look for savings where available, but do not promise a fixed reduction. Samples and specifications are agreed so that buying decisions protect the food you want to serve.
We review your current products, pricing, deliveries and credit arrangements, then approach your supplier about funding the project. Staying put may be the right outcome when your requirements and the funding arrangement can be met.
Where appropriate, we introduce a trusted national supplier and compare the buying basket, quality specifications, service levels and terms. You approve the proposed arrangements before any change.
Bespoke menus, afternoon tea, wedding and conference dishes, or signature products. The number of menu developments is agreed to suit the project.
Product sourcing, complete-plate costing, GP review and specifications. Pricing arrangements are agreed with the relevant supplier rather than promised indefinitely.
Photographic specifications, cooking guidance, allergen and nutritional information, launch training and refresher support where included in the agreement.
Bespoke manufactured products are developed with specialist production partners. Licensing, volumes, development costs and exclusivity are agreed separately where applicable.
No. We first explore funding with your current supplier. A move to a trusted national partner is an alternative, not an automatic requirement.
Products must meet the same or a better agreed quality specification. We compare specifications, samples, pack sizes and usable yield rather than relying on a product name alone.
No. We use our purchasing power and supplier relationships to seek better value, but any saving depends on your products, volumes, requirements and the terms available.
Any purchasing requirements, project scope, funding conditions, delivery arrangements and credit terms are explained and agreed before work starts. There is no blanket promise that every supplier can fund every project.
You can discuss an individually quoted bespoke package. We agree the scope and fee before proceeding, without presenting it as a free service.
