<title>Catering Services</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-1293.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The catering industry includes 10,000 companies with combined annual revenue of $5 billion. Large companies include Centerplate, Restaurant Associates, and Wolfgang Puck Catering, but no major companies dominate. The catering industry is very highly fragmented: the top 50 companies account for less than 15 percent of industry revenue.  While many hotels, facilities management companies, restaurants, and food service contractors also cater events, these businesses aren't included in this industry.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand is driven by corporate profits and consumer income. The profitability of individual companies depends on cost controls and effective marketing. Large companies have advantages in offering expanded services such as facilities management, room rental, and entertainment. Small companies can compete effectively by serving small groups and offering personalized service. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker for a typical company is just over $40,000.  PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY  Major services include off-premises catering (food prepared away from the premises where it's ]]></description>

<title>Food Service Contractors</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-1297.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The food service contracting industry includes about 21,000 companies with combined annual revenue of $23 billion. Major companies include Compass Group North America, Aramark Refreshment Services, Delaware North, and Sodexho USA. The industry is highly concentrated: the 50 largest companies account for about 90 percent of revenue.  Food service contractors provide restaurant, fast food, and cafeteria services to large businesses, institutions, and government agencies. This profile doesn't include food distributors, which supply food and equipment to restaurants.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand is driven by employment trends and consumer tastes. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations and food quality. Large companies have advantages in economies of scale in food and equipment purchasing, off-site food preparation, and distribution. Small companies can compete effectively by specializing in unique food products or local markets. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is only $50,000.  PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY  Major products are meals consumed on-premises (65 ]]></description>
