Aramark provides food, facilities, and uniform and career apparel services to education, healthcare, business and industry, sports, leisure, and corrections clients, and it makes money through managed food and support services (including dining, catering, food service management, and retail food), non-clinical support services (such as patient food and nutrition, retail food, and procurement), plus uniform and career apparel revenue.
The profit model is contract-based and recurring, with results tied to how well Aramark retains clients (client retention rate) while also adding new business (annualized gross new business wins), alongside contribution from its uniform and career apparel revenue stream.
