  • Yes, you will! Under TUPE regulations, your current kitchen staff will transfer across when Dolce becomes your school’s new catering provider.

  • Since almost all local authorities recognise a school’s kitchen as part of a school’s estate, it remains with the school. Be sure to get in touch with us if you have any issues around this.

  • We recommend a one-year contract with a terms cancellation thereafter.

  • Generally, six weeks is considered best practice for TUPE, so we’d advise eight weeks to ensure a smooth transition.
