Suppliers must be listed with BWG or willing to go through the process of
being listed with BWG to supply Insomnia or Soul Foods supply chain.
Suppliers should have HACCP as a minimum standard, with BRC A grade
desirable. Any dietary specific products must also carry appropriate
certification. Suppliers are reviewed and audited annually.
Orders are handled directly at store level and emailed to suppliers or placed
through an online ordering platform daily. Due to limited storage and
display space, smaller quantities, frequently delivered are preferred.
Insomnia work to strict packaging and labelling requirements with
nutritional and calorie count provided on their menu. The supplier must
be able to provide relevant information as required and agree to input
information on an online nutrition and allergy management system.
Distribution providers
Products are delivered directly by the supplier or through third party
distributors.
Advice to new suppliers
New suppliers should send an introductory email to the Procurement and
NPD Manager via e-mail (paulamcelroy@insomnia.ie) and be in a position to
provide samples and specifications.
It is very important to be familiar with the Insomnia shop layout/space
available. Product range, demographic and customer preferences are all
important factors which should be reviewed to better understand if there is
a product fit.
