System catering

System catering is a method of standardized food preparation which can be duplicated at all the branches of a catering chain such as KFC, Little Chef or McDonald's. The catering is centrally controlled and the various branches sell the same product range and provide the same service. The restaurants look alike from the outside, the interior fixtures and fittings are identical and the same standards of quality control are applied in all branches. A customer can therefore expect the same standard of food and service at any branch of a firm which operates system catering.
