Catering concession refers to the practice where a catering company or collective unit takes over the entire catering business of schools or other enterprises and institutions, managing it on their behalf. This typically includes two main methods:

1. Direct Operation Model:

Under this model, specialized catering service providers offer dining locations and facilities (including kitchens) through contractual agreements; in such cases, the rights and obligations between both parties are relatively simple and stable. However, this form has certain limitations, such as the inability to provide personalized customization services and nutritional pairing advice, etc. Therefore, for some businesses with special needs, choosing this model may pose significant risks. For instance, in certain industries where employees are required to eat on-site, using this method could lead to waste of resources or even disrupt the normal work order.

Additionally, due to factors like financial constraints and a lack of professionals, various forms of contracting, such as turnkey and outsourcing, find it challenging to truly achieve规模化 and standardized operations. Moreover, with the rapid economic development and accelerated pace of social life in our country, the demand for diverse dining services is increasing. However, the various types of specialized catering services available in the market currently are unable to meet this demand. Thus, the drawbacks of this model are becoming more apparent.

2. Managed Model:

This model primarily refers to a business management strategy where the right to supply meals, in whole or in part, is delegated to a third-party organization for management and operation. Its key feature is the utilization of external forces to resolve internal issues without altering the existing organizational structure, thereby enhancing work efficiency and service quality.
