Product mix

Across the group, all eating occasions are catered for from breakfast
through to dinner, late night food and delivery.

Opportunities for Irish food and drink suppliers

Key areas for growth in terms of product offering include being able to
work with suppliers that can custom make products (non- branded / own
branded) on scale for the group e.g. cheese for burgers. Suppliers are
required that can create bespoke products to exact specifications.

All product purchased is Irish, where possible.

Purchasing policy and supplier requirements

The Company has a preference to source local produce from suppliers that
can deliver in large volumes.

Purchasing policy is to select suppliers based on products offered and their
ability to service to requirements. e.g. credit terms, delivery etc. Suppliers
need to be compliant to standard Irish regulations and all suppliers are
audited, for which there is a charge.

Purchasing is handled centrally through a purchasing and procurement
panel, with deliveries to individual venues, rather than a central warehouse.

Head of Food influences purchasing decisions and agrees the terms.

Frequency of goods inwards and delivery windows are daily. Orders may be
placed via email, phone or fax.
