Must Stock FAQs
Must Stock FAQs
What is the change?
From 9th March, all Must Stock products will be required to be purchased directly through our Foodservice operation, for all events going forward, unless stated otherwise.
Within the Must Stock, there will now be a matrix included. This matrix provides greater clarity on requirements by breaking down each unit offering and outlining how many Must Stock products are required to be purchased per category. This will give you more flexibility of choice (if applicable) and will create a streamlined ordering process.
Who decides which products are considered a ‘must stock’?
Must Stock products are determined by the venue or client, or by Freemans Event Partners.
Do I have to stock the products?
Yes. If you are stocking a particular product category, for example crisps, and the sponsored brand is Walkers, then Walkers products must be stocked. The products that you are required to purchase and stock will be outlined in the Must Stock document.
Are there any exceptions to why I wouldn’t have to stock a product?
With our new matrix within the Must Stock document, it will outline how many products per category you are required to purchase from us and stock depending on your unit offering. For example, a coffee outlet would not be required to stock sauces or brioche buns.
I have a vegan outlet and stock only vegan products, what do I do?
If a direct vegan equivalent is not available, you may source and bring your own suitable stock to site. Please speak to our Sales Team.
I don’t have enough space on my outlet to stock all of the must stocks, what do I do?
Where space is limited, we ask that a minimum of one facing item per required product is stocked and available for sale where possible.
