In today’s workplace, food and drink isn’t just about refuelling staff…

They’re a vital part of employee wellbeing, sustainability, and brand perception.

Yet many organisations are locked into outdated or underperforming catering and vending contracts that no longer reflect their values or needs.

That’s where EMC & Associates deliver real value.

The Problem: Why So Many Workplace F&B Contracts Fall Short
Contracts rolled over without performance challenge

KPIs that don’t reflect current expectations or usage

Lack of innovation in menus, service models, or tech

Poor alignment with hybrid working patterns

Food offers that don’t reflect your culture, diversity, or sustainability targets
