CONTRIBUTION TO THE RESEARCH FOR IMPROVING THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS AND DECISION-MAKING IN PROCUREMENT.

Procurement is one of the basic functions of any enterprise. Without them, no company would survive. In this scientific paper, we carried out research in the field of catering, that is, we emphasize how important purchases are in catering in every company, as well as how purchases are made regardless of the company's activity, and also how purchases are made in hotel-restaurant enterprises because they are necessary for the company to survive, to satisfy the demands of the consumers, that is, to satisfy the customers. We analyzed the behavior of the employees in the companies during the procurement process, how they face the risks in the procurement process and, most importantly, we can see how the purchases of a hotel-restaurant company enable success and prosperity in the company itself.
