OK. So I made an improvement, but...

It's never too late to bring things up.

I think you forget about wholesale. What do you call the school that buys food at the shop to provide to the children? Do you call the school the customer, or do you refer to the cook who buys the food as the customer? The contract is with the school, negotiated by the cook, signed by the bursar.

I'm afraid of this getting heavy for the reader. There are 73 instances of "customer" in the document, and "customer system" may become tiresome to read.

Anyone else got anything to say on the topic?

Cheers,
Adrian
