How suppliers are chosen
From the menu, sandwich formulas and food, through to packaging, equipment, technology, services, cleaning products and store designs, Subway set a rigorous set of standards to ensure customers experience the same great taste, service and in-store experience wherever they are in the world. In the most critical of these categories, Subway operates a Gold Standard policy.
It is IPC EMEA's role to execute against these standards and to do this we work directly with the Subway FWH teams in all areas of our business – from sourcing to quality control. In this way, we help to ensure that each and every one of the thousands of businesses we represent across the European franchise network receives the Subway approved products and services they need to run their business, at the best price for the quality required.
We only work with suppliers able to supply the products, packaging, and services to Subway Franchisees across Europe in the volumes required, to the exact specification dictated by Subway FWH, and with the ultimate approval of Subway FWH.
Once the approval process is complete, IPC EMEA enters into a partnership with the supplier, which enables investment on both sides over the term of the contract to supply.
Today IPC EMEA manages over £1.5 billion worth of contracts on behalf of the 5000+ Subway Franchisees in Europe.
