Hospitality & Food Service Solutions

Streamlined RFPs for Hospitality — Built for Speed and Quality

In hospitality and food services, your vendors are part of your guest experience. Whether it’s sourcing a catering partner for a major conference, upgrading point-of-sale systems for a hotel chain, or finding a facilities provider for a stadium concession area — procurement decisions directly affect customer satisfaction, revenue, and brand reputation.

Yet in an industry built on service and speed, the RFP process is often slow, fragmented, and unnecessarily complicated. Vendor requirements live in scattered emails. Proposals arrive in every format imaginable. And decision-making drags on while competitors move faster.

Paperfly streamlines hospitality and food service procurement by making it easy to create structured, bilingual RFPs, collect comparable vendor proposals, and evaluate them instantly with automated scoring.

The Unique Procurement Challenges in Hospitality & Food Services

High Volume, High Turnover

Restaurants, hotels, and catering operations often change suppliers or service providers more frequently than other industries.

Seasonal & Event-Based Needs

Procurement must ramp up for events, holidays, or peak seasons without missing deadlines.

Compliance & Food Safety

Sourcing in food services means navigating regulations like HACCP, FSMA, and local health codes.

Diverse Vendor Pool

Suppliers range from small artisanal producers to large international distributors — often requiring bilingual communication.

Brand Consistency

Procurement choices impact everything from menu quality to guest amenities.

The Challenge

A hotel group wants to upgrade its point-of-sale system across 15 locations, integrating it with reservations, accounting, and inventory. IT, finance, and F&B operations each have specific requirements.

The Old Way

  • Different departments create separate requirement lists.
  • Vendors send proposals in inconsistent formats.
  • Scoring happens manually, often leading to disputes over weighting.

Vendor selection is complete in a fraction of the time, with full documentation for compliance and internal records.
