Case Study: Corporate Flight Department Catering Consolidation

A Fortune 100 corporate flight department operating 6 aircraft with fragmented catering vendor relationships across multiple hub airports sought to consolidate and reduce cost while improving quality consistency.

The Challenge

  • 6 aircraft operating from 4 primary bases with 4 different catering vendors
  • Inconsistent quality between bases — executive passenger complaints from 2 of 4 locations
  • No consolidated billing — accounts payable processing 4 separate catering invoices monthly
  • No standing preference profiles — passenger dietary requirements re-communicated on every order
  • HACCP documentation missing from 2 of 4 vendor relationships

The Délicieux Solution

  • Single Délicieux account covering all 4 bases and backup airports
  • Standing preference profiles for all 40+ recurring executive passengers
  • Consolidated monthly invoice with per-aircraft cost allocation for internal reporting
  • Full HACCP documentation on every delivery across all locations

Outcomes

  • Documented 18% cost reduction versus combined prior vendor spend
  • Passenger satisfaction scores improved from 3.4 to 4.8 out of 5
  • Accounts payable reduced from 4 vendor invoices to 1 per month
