How restaurant groups grow with Collectiv Food

Fewer suppliers, better margins and the same dish at every site. Here's what changed for the groups we work with.

Results

Numbers talk

What changes when a group moves its supply chain to one partner.

P&L

+5pt

margin, with 15% off COGS

Margin up, hours back. 92 suppliers became 7, and 344 weekly deliveries became 24. £3m of annual food spend, a dozen cuisines under one roof.

Labour

~20 hrs

a week of prep taken out

Growth without the headcount. Prep moved upstream and delivered ready to use — the production unit they planned never got built.

"When we open new sites now, we don't look to work with anyone else."

Consistency

12 → 2

suppliers, and six more never onboarded

A quality benchmark that holds. Product improved immediately on switching and hasn't moved since — every site, every week.

"If we unravelled everything Collectiv does for us, we'd have to onboard another six suppliers." — Dirty Bones

Focus

90%

of supply through one partner

Launched without building a supply function. Sourcing, logistics and stock carried on our side from day one.

"Collectiv Food has taken a huge amount off our plate when it comes to logistics and sourcing."
