Sector: Education & contract catering · Scale: 24+ secondary school sites, London and the South East · Supplied: coffee, consumables and equipment support at scale
One standard of coffee across every site
Olive Dining runs catering for more than two dozen secondary schools across London and the South East. For a trade buyer at that scale, the hard part isn't finding good coffee — it's making the coffee in site twenty-four taste exactly like the coffee in site one, week after week, term after term.
The challenge
Multi-site catering multiplies every small supply problem. Olive Dining needed a wholesale partner offering controlled roast profiles so quality never drifts between batches, dependable delivery scheduling around term dates, ethical sourcing their client schools could stand behind, and support that answers the phone when a machine question can't wait.
What we supplied
We built a repeatable trade supply programme: fixed roast profiles for their chosen blends, case-quantity ordering matched to each site's throughput, and coordinated deliveries from our Surrey roastery. Reliable machines across the estate are backed by quick, responsive support, so staff spend their time serving rather than troubleshooting.
The results
- 24+ school sites served to a single quality standard
- Consistent cup quality maintained through controlled roast profiles and fresh, scheduled supply
- A long-term partnership built on ethical sourcing and responsive service
“Redber helps us deliver consistent quality across more than 24 school sites — reliable machines, ethical sourcing, and quick, responsive support.”
