Fresh-Cut for Canteens & Contract Catering

Convenience GmbH supplies fresh-cut vegetables for contract catering: washed and cut vegetables, salad mixes and vegetable mixes in catering packs for staff canteens, university cafeterias, hospitals and care homes. Deliveries are made next-day and up to five times a week, cold-chain compliant, to all 16 German federal states.

The requirements of contract catering

Canteens, university cafeterias, hospitals and care homes cook for many people every day – often with fixed budgets, tight serving times and limited staff. Preparing fresh vegetables and salad takes up a particularly large amount of working time: trimming, washing, peeling and cutting are needed every day before any cooking begins.

At the same time, expectations are rising for fresh menus, an appealing salad buffet and documented food safety. Hospital and care home kitchens in particular serve people for whom hygiene and an unbroken cold chain are especially important. And because menus are planned in advance, purchasing needs reliable quantities, delivery times and terms.

Frequently asked questions from contract catering

How often can a canteen be supplied?

Convenience GmbH delivers next-day and up to five times a week. We align the delivery schedule with your menu and serving days so that you can order smaller quantities more often – and therefore fresher. In the event of short-notice additional demand or a delivery failure, our emergency service is available outside regular office hours too.

What food safety documentation is available?

Convenience GmbH is certified to IFS Broker version 3.2 – with 97.4 % at higher level – and holds organic certification DE-ÖKO-001. Delivery is cold-chain compliant. Both certificates are available as PDFs on our website; we will send you the HACCP concept and documentation of our returnable logistics on request for your tender documents.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Yes. There are minimum order quantities, but they depend on the delivery site and are therefore agreed with you individually. We align order quantities with your demand and delivery schedule in the quote. You can order crate produce, sprouts and herbs together with fresh-cut products in a single order – with one contact and one invoice.
