Caternet | G-Shop

G-Shop is Caternet’s environmentally supportive eProcurement software.

The G-Shop concept; an eProcurement and tendering software module within the Caternet stable that provides trading access to each user’s choice of national/regional suppliers and local farmers and growers/manufacturers. We charge a flat 1% of turnover put through the system.

G-Shop also provides a £25m+ (and growing) catering national/local supplier procurement service under our business services section, providing very competitive net prices at an agreed sliding % fee to the user’s fair charging annual multiple licence fee.

G-Shop can be integrated to a simple but effective stock module, and sophisticated financial management system that provides full budget flexibility through cash control and full p&l reporting.

The features; Internet hosted, SQL based (to allow for simple export/import services to client finance packages), and continuously updated/improved (within the fair charging no limit user licence fee) due to in-house development and actively supported customer forums.

The advantages; no capital outlay and fully tailorable to any operating format. Connect to the Internet, set-up your customer parameters and off you go. No hardware required (except if epos/cashless added). Local suppliers available so environmentally supportive in reducing our users’ associated carbon footprints.

The benefits; effective reductions in current procurement and management costs leading to an increase in trading gross profit (see models below). Marketing module available to increase sales to drive costs down with greater profitability. Support for in-house operators (to remove management fees), and real time support in health, safety, hygiene, employment law and training programmes from statutory minimum food handler qualifications to career and mgt development programmes.

G-Shop Detail

Why work with G-Shop and then move onto the full Caternet system?

Centralised procurement through G-Shop will automate your purchasing with national, regional and local suppliers at the click of a button and will create subsequent spending savings in your catering operation.

As your catering team get used to the system, the natural progression is to start to control your operation further with a sophisticated, but intuitive finance system which then creates control over the trading, labour and sundry costs within the modern catering facility.

The final piece of the jigsaw is to then start to create centralised recipes, project trading and to create nutritional analysis to provide information to your customers.
