food service

The food supply chain generally starts with agricultural businesses producing the food stuff that is then processed and served to individual consumers. Therefore, the F&B service stands for the integral last step of a long chain that ends with a meal on a plate or a drink in a glass. Full-service restaurants, bars, pubs, fast food outlets, caterers, and other places that prepare, serve and sell food or drink to the general public are all part of the industry. The choice of self-service, full-service and take-away means many service delivery options. While the different categories of outlets serve a variety of different customer segments and each has its particular challenges, recent developments are having a global impact on all players in this space.
