three pillars
Our catering concept is based on three pillars that are intertwined and with a high focus on safety, hygiene and environment.
data & waste management
Our unique food monitoring system registers consumption and calculates nutritional values. This way we reduce waste and inefficiencies, which results in reduced costs.
train & support cook
IFS provides the necessary training and tools to turn the galley staff into a dedicated team that cooks with loads of passion and know-how.
catering audit
Our IFS audit tool monitors whether (food) safety and hygiene legislation and regulatory requirements have been met on board of the vessel.
our benefits
human approach
We are a transparent and no-nonsense business that has the best interest at heart with others. This explains our hands-on and client-oriented approach. In everything we do, we put people first. We take wellbeing on board to a higher level. Where possible we offer opportunities to people who find themselves in precarious situations.
high transparency and data driven
IFS provides data of consumption through a food monitoring system. We report very precisely on stock and consumption with a transparent budget control. Budget reports show our clients the supplier invoices and we are very honest on how we earn our money. There are no hidden costs.
healthy and good food
IFS Increases the wellbeing of your crew by providing healthy and tasty food. An IFS specialist vets and monitors our suppliers to ensure consistent high standards, compliance with food safety regulations and competitive prices. In our Maritime Food Lab we develop and create new dishes and experiment with new techniques and trends.
independent caterer
IFS is independent from ship suppliers and ship owners. As a privately-owned company, we can afford to go the extra mile for our customers. We use the best suppliers in each port for each ship’s specific provisioning needs. This way we always get the best quality for the best price.
trainingand tools
We offer specialized training programs for galley staff at our IFS Training Centre in the Philippines. Our trainings meet the highest intercultural cooking standards (MLC qualified) and prepare cooks for cooking in difficult situations.
reduce wasteand costs
Thanks to our unique food monitoring system we can register consumption up to the gram and predict orders based on our data. This allows us to reduce waste and to manage the stock in a profitable way.
