 energy and food have already put contract caterers under immense pressure as they struggle to maintain margins and offer their customers value for money; unfortunately, the increases show no sign of slowing.
Last year, utility providers including npower, British Gas, Scottish Power and E.ON raised their tariffs by staggering amounts. But industry analysts say this is only the beginning, predicting that energy bills could rise by as much as 60% over the next 10 years.
Although food prices depend very much on factors such as weather and harvests, there has certainly been an upward trend in the past year. According to Acquire Services' January 2012 Market Metrics report, the overall meat and poultry basket has increased 8.8% over the past year, while dairy prices have increased by 10.3%. Prices for raw materials in the bakery market have also seen unprecedented increases, with sugar up 42% and flour 23% on this time last year.
Replace pre-packaged grab-and-go items with products made in-house. Make sure your in-house range comprises goods that can be sold in large volumes, such as muffins, brownies, flapjacks and shortbread.
As well as looking at your suppliers' packaging to see if you can buy a bigger case using less overall packaging, try to make your take-away containers more efficient, for example, by replacing a coffee cup and sleeve for a double-walled cup.
Aggregate as much of your purchasing as possible through one wholesaler and try to use one logistics company to deliver. Vehicles can now transport a mix of frozen, chilled and ambient goods, so take one delivery rather than several.
An increasing number of clients are separately metering kitchens and catering facilities, creating additional pressure for caterers to reduce energy costs. Think about how you can work more efficiently.
It's essential to know the benchmark market prices. Think about using a consortium to do your purchasing; working with a professionally managed organisation means you'll be able to manage and control food costs much more effectively.
Think about using turkey instead of chicken, for example, explaining to the customer that this is a healthier, lower fat option, and always be flexible so you can take advantage of special deals suppliers are offering.
As well as trying to find new customers, engage with those you already have. Speak to your customers in your café or canteen, rather than sending out an impersonal survey, and act on what they tell you.
Electronic point of sale (EPoS) systems are invaluable for keeping you informed on what you're selling, when you're selling it and how much of it you're selling. This can help reduce waste, improve labour productivity and boost sales.
The only way to compete with large retailers like Tesco is to offer good-value meal deals. But balance budget options with clever marketing so that you can guide your more solvent customers towards the dishes and products with better margins.
The Black Ops 4 Blackout stash UI on consoles is rather limited at the moment, but that’s set to change next week with the 1.11 update.

Black Ops Pass holders will find December’s Elevation and Madagascar maps added to multiplayer rotation with the 1.11 update, and rotating Featured Playlists in multiplayer. Stability fixes and other quality-of-life improvements can also be expected when the update drops on January 15.
Once the patch notes are live, we’ll let you know. In the meantime, if you’re just getting started with Blackout, here’s some tips along with information on the best drop locations and so much more.Kung fu panda secrets of the masters.jpg|Po, Tigress, and Mantis in KFP Secrets of the Masters.
Secrets of the Masters is a 2011 animated short film that was originally packaged with the two-disc Kung Fu Panda 2 DVD and Blu-ray release on December 13, 2011. It uncovers the legend of the three Kung Fu masters of Gongmen City: Masters Thundering Rhino, Storming Ox, and Croc.
Under the pretense of an emergency in the dead of night, Po (Jack Black) led Masters Tigress (Angelina Jolie) and Mantis (Seth Rogen) into breaking into the new Masters' Council exhibit in tribute of Masters Thundering Rhino (Paul Scheer), Storming Ox (Dennis Haysbert), and Croc (Tony Leondis). Although Tigress and Mantis were annoyed at the deception, Po engaged their interest in the story of how the trio of masters first met.
Long ago in the city of Jinzhou, Rhino, Ox and Croc were small time street fighters who attracted the displeasure of Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) who wished them to find something worthy to fight for. As the trio fought themselves to a standstill, two of the villainous Wu sisters were freeing their eldest sister. To stop them, Oogway persuaded Rhino, Ox and Croc into helping him stop the sisters at Hubei Volcano. However, to Oogway's frustration, the turtle had to appeal the vague prospects of being put on a "path to riches" to get that cooperation.
While the Wu sisters plotted to unite the various criminal gangs to seize control of China, Oogway had to brush off each of his compatriot's pretty proposals during the journey to abandon the others for their benefit. At camp, Oogway eventually discovered that while Croc and Ox were motivated by narcissism and greed respectively, Rhino had a deep-seated need to win his father's, Master Flying Rhino, respect. To that, Oogway suggested to all of them that their current goals were self-defeating and that changing their ways will lead to better lives for all. Before the trio could comprehend the turtle's point, a messenger bird from the Wu sisters arrived to reveal their plan, and Oogway had the company set off immediately.
To encourage them to change their ways, Oogway secretly led the trio into an extremely dangerous path and forced them to cooperate in order for them all to safely pass. But when the trio finally learned that Oogway was being metaphorical about his promised riches, their protests accidentally got them trapped on a river of lava. Oogway managed to get them to safe ground, but fell to his apparent death, leaving them with only the advice "Remember the path." to guide them now.
Thus motivated, the trio interrupted the sisters' summit. When the former street fighters revealed that they were doing this for honor, they intimidated the various visiting gangs into retreating while the sisters fought alone. Although the sisters proved too much to fight alone, Rhino, Ox and Croc managed to combine their talents to defeat them in a coordinated attack. At the moment of their victory, Oogway reappeared, having captured the rest of the gangs, and praised his fellows for being worthy warriors who have found a higher purpose.
The scene returned to the exhibit in the morning where Po concluded the story of how the new masters formed the Masters' Council in Gongmen City. Unfortunately, Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) discovered them and set Po to work to repair the roof he damaged breaking in before the exhibit opened in twenty minutes. Unfortunately, Po managed to accidentally lock himself in the Sarcophagus of Su Wu, and thus trapped decided to take a nap instead.
Thundering Rhino met and fought Croc, who had originally been a bandit.
