In our club (Blackburn Melbourne) the Providor - and we also have an Assistant Providor - purchase all the material used in preparing food for afternoon teas and lunches and dinners (when we have them). They have an arrangement with a local supermarket and gain a discount for our purchases. They tend to buy in large proportions and store the storable in our storeroom. Thus the Providor ensures that on Saturdays he buys the buns that we use for afternoon tea during pennant games.
