vegan/vegetarian dishes, stir-fries, noodles, fried rice, seafood, soft drinks
and desserts, along with small bites and side dishes.
Menus also feature low calorie, low fat, and high protein dishes and
macronutrient information is available for every dish.

Opportunities for Irish food and drink suppliers

Camile maintains long-term relationships with their suppliers, but is always
open to change through a yearly tendering process. Camile is growing at
a strong rate with new planned openings and would like to support Irish
artisan producers where possible.

The company is always open to new products to taste and test within their
operation. Products must be of suitable quality and profile that suits the
Camile brand.

The opening of new branches as well as menu development will aid the
opportunity for Irish suppliers, however price must also allow a sufficient
margin.

Camile is interested to hear of any new innovation particularly in the ESG/
sustainability space which could be suitable and integrated into the Camile
concept. Camile was one of the first brands in Europe to introduce 100%
compostable packaging (2018) and carbon emission ratings on their menu
(2022).

Purchasing policy and supplier requirements

Camile has an approved supplier list which is a requirement of the EC 853
registration. Camile’s registration number is IE 4069.

Camile suppliers are audited on an annual basis and all new suppliers need
to complete a questionnaire to confirm that they are HACCP, Health &
Safety, Origin Green & Repak compliant. Camile pays for audits.
