Pricing & Account Management

Clear per-person pricing with no hidden costs. Volume-based savings, dedicated account management, and flexible contracts built around how your team actually works.

Honest, Transparent Pricing

Per-person costs clear from the start. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. Food, delivery, setup, and your dedicated account manager — all included. The more you commit, the better the value.

How Workplace Catering Pricing Works

Typical programme pricing: from £12pp for lunch, from £6pp for breakfast — compared to £18pp for ad-hoc ordering.

Five factors shape your price:

Team size More people means better per-head value

Frequency Days per week affects your pricing tier

Meal type Breakfast, lunch, or both

Service level Drop-off, partial, or full service

Format Group Meals or Individual Meals

Order direct, skip the markup.

Aggregator platforms add significant margin on top of catering costs — you pay more, we receive less. Ordering directly from Sands cuts that cost entirely.

No platform commissions Every pound goes to food and service

Direct accountability We're responsible for every delivery

Account management included A genuine partnership, not a bolt-on

Your Dedicated Account Manager

Every programme includes a dedicated account manager — not a helpline, a real person who knows your business. They manage your programme, anticipate your needs, and are your single point of contact for everything.

What your account manager handles

Programme setup

Full onboarding — team size, preferences, dietary needs, logistics. Gets you to your first delivery day with everything in place.

Dietary coordination

Tracks requirements across your whole team. Keeps allergen information accurate. Makes sure the right people get the right food.

Budget optimisation

Spots opportunities to improve value — adjusting menus, service levels, or scheduling to keep quality high within your budget.

Responsive support

Provides same business day response to enquiries. Accessible directly, not routed through general customer service.

Special occasions

Coordinates pop-ups, celebrations, and seasonal events alongside your regular programme.

Ongoing improvement

Regular reviews, feedback loops, and menu updates. Your programme gets better over time.

The Differentiator: Partnership vs Transaction

Aggregator platforms give you a catalogue. No relationship, no one who knows your team, no proactive support when things need adjusting. Sands gives you a dedicated partner — someone invested in making your programme work, not just processing orders.

When you need us, we respond

Same business day response to all workplace catering enquiries. When your headcount changes, requirements shift, or something needs sorting, your account manager picks it up directly.

Direct ordering No aggregator markup eating into your budget

50+ years feeding London businesses Reliability that comes with experience

Full ESG credentials 3/3 stars from the Sustainable Restaurants Association
