Global workspace procurement
Pantry & Cafeteria sourcing.
Pantries take more traffic per square metre than any other part of an office. We source pantry joinery, counters, appliances and cafeteria equipment specified for daily volume, cleaning regime and service support.
The most used room in the office, specified for volume and cleaning.
Positioning
Why this category is bought this way
Counter material, sink gauge, drainage and power provision decide whether a pantry still looks acceptable after two years of use.
Appliance selection follows headcount and peak usage. A coffee machine sized for a small team becomes a queue and a maintenance problem when the floor fills up.

Direct sourcing & bulk procurement
How supply actually works here
Pantry joinery is fabricated to the approved drawing, with hardware and surfaces specified by brand and grade so quality is not left to the carpenter's discretion.
Appliances are bought through authorised channels with warranty and local service confirmed, and consolidated across sites where the client operates several locations.
Direct manufacturer supply is used where it is genuinely available for the category and volume. Where a brand supplies only through authorised partners, we buy that route to protect warranty and benchmark it so the difference is visible.

Procurement workflow
Requirement to delivery for pantry & cafeteria
- 01
Requirement capture
We record what the space actually has to do — headcount, work modes, phasing, budget envelope, delivery date and any landlord or building constraint that will shape what can be installed.
- 02
Specification & BOQ
Requirements are converted into a written specification and a measurable bill of quantities, so every supplier quotes the same scope, the same finish level and the same quantities.
- 03
Supplier discovery
We shortlist manufacturers, authorised channel partners and trusted trading suppliers — in India and overseas — that genuinely make or stock the specified category at the required volume.
- 04
Quotation comparison
Offers are normalised into a like-for-like comparison sheet covering unit rate, freight, duty, warranty, lead time, installation scope and payment terms, not just the headline price.
- 05
Quality & sample approval
Samples, mock-ups, test certificates and factory documentation are reviewed and signed off before any bulk order is released, so the approved sample becomes the acceptance standard.
- 06
Negotiation
Bulk volumes are consolidated and negotiated against benchmarked rates, with commercial terms — retention, warranty, spares, defect liability — agreed in writing before award.
- 07
Purchase & logistics
Purchase orders, export documentation, consolidation, freight mode, insurance, customs clearance and inland transport are coordinated against the site programme.
- 08
Site coordination
Deliveries are sequenced with civil, MEP and interior trades so material lands when the floor is ready for it, with storage, handling and installation access planned in advance.
- 09
Delivery & handover
Received goods are inspected against the approved specification, shortages and damages are recorded, snags are closed and warranty, spares and O&M documents are handed to the client.
Quality & commercial control
What protects the specification and the budget
Surface and hardware grade
Countertop material, edge detail, hinge and channel brands are specified and verified on delivery.
Plumbing and power coordination
Water supply, drainage and dedicated power circuits are coordinated before the joinery is installed.
Service support confirmed
Local service coverage and consumable availability are checked for every appliance before purchase.

FAQ
Questions we are asked most
By peak simultaneous use rather than total headcount. Break patterns, shift timings and whether meals are served on site matter more than a per-person area figure.
