Food and Beverage
The foodservice (US English) or catering (British English) industry includes the businesses, institutions, and companies which prepare meals outside the home.[1] It includes restaurants, school and hospital cafeterias, catering operations, and many other formats.[1]
Suppliers to foodservice operators are foodservice distributors, who provide small wares (kitchen utensils) and foods. Some companies manufacture products in both consumer and food service versions. The consumer version usually comes in individual-sized packages with elaborate label design for retail sale. The foodservice version is packaged in a much larger industrial size and often lacks the colorful label designs of the consumer version.
Mansfield is a market town in Nottinghamshire, England, the main town in the District of Mansfield and Mansfield Urban Area.[1] Mansfield gained the Royal Charter of a market town in 1227. The town lies in the Maun Valley, 12 miles (19 km) north of Nottingham, and is near Sutton-in-Ashfield. Most of the 106,556 population live within the town proper (including Mansfield Woodhouse), with Market Warsop as a secondary centre.[2] It is the only local authority in Nottinghamshire directly to elect its mayor.
