Dobbies won the Sammie for The Chain Sandwich Retailer Award Café In-store Category earlier this year and Restuarant Director Costas Constantinou collected the award last week after speaking at the HTA Catering Conference and proudly displayed it at the evening with Dobbies in Kew Gardens.
The award which champions those in the chain sector (10 or more outlets) whose core business is the sale of sandwiches whether made to order; pre-packed on site; bought in pre-packed from a central commissary or where sandwiches are sold alongside coffee and bakery products and who are driving the business forward and achieving the most impressive development in the qualifying period.
In the In-store sector, Dobbies scored more highly than any other operator with respect to consumer recommendation, despite having the highest average spend level.
