Catering is the provision of food and drink and
it is divided into two basic sectors: commercial businesses, where the main
aim is to make a profit, and non-commercial businesses (welfare), where
the main aim is to provide a nonprofit-making social service. Commercial
catering is usually found in hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars, cafes or fast
food outlets, where you can eat in or take away the food and beverages
you buy. But commercial catering can also be found in the transport
industry in places such as railway stations, airports or motorway service
stations and on ships and trains, where the place you eat is called a
buffet car and offers self-service, or on aeroplanes, where on the other hand
there is waiter service provided by the cabin crew. In other words,
whenever people travel any distance for work or pleasure, they are able
to eat and drink thanks to the catering service provided. Catering at
private events, such as social events or gatherings and wedding receptions,
or public events including rock concerts or football matches is also
considered commercial.
Welfare catering ranges from providing food
for workers at a subsidised price in factory or office block canteens, to
catering in hospitals, schools or prisons, where people pay nothing or
very little for the service.
