F & B : LOCAL SOURCING almost all its vegetables , pork , poultry and seafood from local suppliers , explains Executive Sous Chef Florian Eberhardt , but establishing a proper delivery system was a challenge at first . " In the beginning , they delivered a 50-kg ( l1O-lb ) yellowfin tuna on the back of a motorbike with 40 degrees C ( 104 degrees F ) outside temperature ,"
Eberhardt says . " They also delivered high-quality king prawns in an old paint bucket , so we had to send them back . Now we are providing proper thermo boxes to the smaller suppliers to ensure hygienic delivery and the right temperature of the products ."
Perhaps the biggest challenge to working with local suppliers is the time
and effort involved . Orlando World Center Marriott in Florida , which does approximately US $ 55 million in food sales annually , works with about 10 different local farms to source approximately 30 % of its F & B product from the surrounding area , but Director of Restaurant Operations Eric Martinez notes it ' s a hands-on endeavor .
