ARAMARK serves businesses of all sizes in many different industries. Like its outsourcing rivals, ARAMARK competes primarily through bids to provide services to specific clients. It is generally engaged through long-term contracts that are renewed on a periodic basis. Most of ARAMARK's contracts allow the company to retain all revenue from its operations while paying a commission to the client; it also works under management-fee arrangements under which clients bear some of the financial risk for expenses. In addition, the company's uniform and apparel division also sells products (outerwear, safety gear, work wear) directly to customers.
ARAMARK has been servicing Tinker Air Force Base since May 1999 and servicing the Aeronautical Center since late 2002. An integral part of the positive relationship ARAMARK has with the customers at the Aeronautical Center, has been because of the Food Service Director, Lee Woods. Mr. Woods has been the Food Service Director since June 2011 and was the Executive Chef from March 2007 until June 2011. Mr. Woods acknowledges that patrons’ needs have changed over the years. He strives to provide customers with continuous improvement, offering new ideas to the menu along with maintaining excellent customer service. Some future plans include a call-in food order placement with delivery. Mr. Woods is also working with ARAMARK and the Office of Facility Management (AMP-001) to incorporate a mobile food ordering system that will allow delivery and pick up capabilities.
