In plain English
Aramark is the outsourced kitchen and back-of-house for other institutions — it runs the dining halls, hospital cafeterias, stadium concessions and workplace canteens that ~260,000 of its employees staff at thousands of client sites. It buys food at scale (mostly through Sysco and its own Avendra purchasing arm), marks up a managed service, and keeps a razor-thin ~2% margin — a labor-heavy, low-margin volume business, the near-opposite of an asset-light toll-taker.
