All purchase orders are sent via email and will contain a summary of the following information:

• Total order value - including discount and total amount payable to you

Please review the details carefully and confirm you can cater this order by clicking on the ‘confirm order’ button in this email. Alternatively, you can download the pdf to view the order details.

Orders must be confirmed, at the latest, by 5:30pm the day before delivery, either via the purchase order email or supplier portal. Any order with changes will be sent again referencing a version change #. These orders must be reconfirmed.

• 4pm: If there are still unconfirmed orders, you will receive an automated phone call. You can confirm your orders by:
  
• Hearing each order individually and pressing 1 to confirm the order
• Or press 6 to confirm all orders, without hearing them individually
• 7am the following day: You will receive a reminder automated phone call if you still have unconfirmed orders

Orders can still be confirmed via any of the email correspondence we send you. Once orders are confirmed, you won't receive any further correspondence.
