Financial Performance
EATdot has been the product of years of experience and has made its mark on the UK School food service sector in a very short period. One reason is that financial performance has been amazing.
When EATdot is introduced, sales typically increase by an average of 20% and in many cases 30-35%. As each new School year starts, with an average 14% of new consumers joining School via Year Seven, the marketing plan is focussed on capturing and keeping these new consumers and so further reduce the cost of food services.
One of the reasons why financial performance is so impressive relates to the supply of commodities arranged by EATdot on behalf of Schools. Basic commodities are obtained via the EATdot Supply Line which is managed by Acquire Services Limited. Local suppliers of fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh meat, bread and milk can also be used as they can offer improved value for money, price and quality as well improved local service levels.
EATdot works closely with Acquire to ensure that the product ranges made available reflect the requirements of the Schools and, most importantly, that commodites are supplied at prices that will maintain the profit margin that has been forecast in the budget.
Schools will also benefit by collecting Acquire Purchase Points™. Points can be redeemed for a wide range of catering light equipment or high street retail vouchers.
