Hospitality & Food Service

You negotiate the food cost.
Now do the rest.

UK restaurants, pubs, hotels, and catering businesses apply rigorous discipline to food cost — and then leave energy, linen, laundry, cleaning, and waste contracts on autopilot. Together those categories can represent £70,000–110,000 of annual spend for a 50-cover operation. Bundle IQ pools hospitality buying power to deliver prices that individual operators can never negotiate alone. Free to join. No obligation. No long-term commitment.

The problem

The procurement blind spot costing hospitality operators thousands.

Most hospitality operators negotiate hard on food — and rightly so. The categories below the line get renewed on autopilot. That autopilot has a cost, and it compounds year on year.

🔄
The auto-renewal trap
Energy, laundry, cleaning, and waste contracts renew automatically at prices the supplier sets. Nobody reviews them. Nobody puts them to market. The incumbent adds a percentage, the operator signs, and the premium accumulates — year after year, category after category.
📊
No buying power alone
A single restaurant's laundry spend is marginal business for a commercial laundry company. A pool of 35 restaurants in a region is a £900,000 contract worth competing seriously for. The difference in pricing between individual and collective buying reflects the difference in commercial leverage — not the difference in service quality.
No time to fix it
Running a competitive process for your energy contract while managing a kitchen, a floor, and a team is not realistic. Bundle IQ removes that barrier entirely — register in 10 minutes, IQ handles the market engagement, evaluation, and recommendation. You see the price and decide.

Compliance & risk
Food hygiene, Simpler Recycling, and allergen compliance

Hospitality procurement carries specific regulatory obligations. Food hygiene ratings from the FSA affect reputation and corporate account eligibility. Simpler Recycling food waste separation requirements from April 2025 mean operators whose waste contracts do not include a separate food waste stream are non-compliant. Allergen management in catering supply. COSHH compliance for cleaning chemicals. Bundle IQ specifies these requirements in every tender and verifies compliance before recommending any supplier.
