Food Service

Food service is concerned with both the preparation and service of food. This covers a broad range of businesses from cafes and restaurants to institutional operations such as canteens in schools, hospitals and prisons. Contract catering also falls under this category.

This category is for general sites relating to the food service industry. Please list catering companies, suppliers and distributors in the appropriate sub-category.

Please note:
Individual restaurant websites are not listed here and will be deleted without review. Individual restaurant websites belong in the locality of the business. For example, a restaurant in Christchurch, New Zealand, should be submitted to Regional/Oceania/New_Zealand/Canterbury/Christchurch/Business_and_Economy/Restaurants_and_Bars.
