The advent of the web has been a wonderful thing.
It means you can stay up-to-date with the latest hospitality news courtesy of Caterersearch and do things like your banking and shopping at the sort of irregular hours that suit hardworking hospitality types.
Of course criminals have been quick to make the most of this new opportunity as well. An unprotected computer is easy prey for viruses and hackers so it makes sense to get the correct software to protect your personal details.
Although the mention of Apple in this context may suggest a certain Californian company that sells computers and expensive phones, it is in fact contract caterer Blue Apple Catering that is the focus of this hi-tech tale.
Blue Apple has just won a slew of new business and one of its prize contracts is anti-virus and security software company McAfee at its European headquarters in Slough, Berkshire.
Now you're thinking the rub here will be that despite catering for said technology company the directors of Blue Apple are technophobes that don't know how to turn on their computers let alone install whizzy software.
But you'd be wrong.
Kitchen Rat has heard that Blue Apple director Ruston Toms is in fact a savvy surfer with the latest gear protecting his PC.
But while the caterer's new deal is something to shout about Rushton's choice of software provider may cause indigestion at client McAfee as it's the software company's arch rival Norton. A temporary glitch we're sure.
