01 / THE KEY STEPS

From preparation
to handover.

What matters for Contract catering – and how we turn it into a coordinated transport process.

01 / BEFORE COLLECTION

Goods & packaging

We record quantities, temperature groups and containers. Hygiene and product instructions are matched to the specific supply operation.

02 / ON THE ROAD

Transport & timing

Regular demand receives a suitable replenishment rhythm. Kitchen receiving times and available unloading assistance inform planning.

03 / AT THE DESTINATION

Handover & records

References, receiving arrangements and handover point are clear. Container and pallet returns are handled within the confirmed scope.

AGREE IN ADVANCE

Food and other goods are planned separately according to their hygiene and transport requirements.

02 / A PLANNING EXAMPLE

Food warehouse → Commercial kitchen

A large kitchen regularly needs several temperature groups. Product requirements determine combined or separate transport solutions.
