The numbers surprised me too.
I got the GG numbers from their website (differentiated by catering location) and divided total meals per day by total empoyees.
Did the same for LSG - total annual meals divided by total staff divided by 365. Check them yourself - the information is in the public domain.
I would imagine that LSG would jump at the chance to get BA's contract and - given that they cater for LH out of Germany - I can't imagine they'd have a problem with quantities or quality. Big ramp-up though.
The risk assessment issue is an interesting aspect - if you have catering requirements of the size of BA/LH/AF, who can pick up their game on short notice to jump in? I would hazard a guess and say: no-one.
An interesting question for the next shareholder meeting, what?
