SERVICES - TRAINING & CONSULTANCY

Schools | Business & Industry | Training & Consultancy | Purchasing

There are those clients who feel more comfortable and prefer to run "In-House" catering operations. However, there is always a danger that the standards set are limited by the skills of the individual Catering Manager on site.

Caterers are often excellent at keeping the food standards to a consistently high standard and satisfying the day to day needs of the workforce or pupils, but are not always good at the behind the scenes systems and controls that are needed to run an efficient operation.

In our experience one of the weakest aspects of this manifests itself when we check training documentation and records which are often incomplete or non-existent. What many people fail to appreciate are the financial and moral implications of failing to maintain adequate records and complete staff training.

All too often we are called in when an accident or incident has occurred and the damage is done and has to be paid for in terms of claims for compensation or long term sick cover or both!

So how can we help?

One of the options we put forward to Clients; who either wish to continue to manage the service themselves or go "In-House" after time with a contractor, is the following:

The "cost effective soloution"

An increasing number of clients have bought into our purchasing service where we provide food and associated goods at net cost . Typical savings have ranged from 15 - 45%. Additional savings in administration have also been evident with only one monthly invoice to pay.

The savings have in some instances funded new equipment, additional menu items on a regular basis or indeed additional services from us.

Whatever your choice everybody gains from it.

To see if we can help ask us to compare your top 20-50 items and see the difference we can make. Call Christina Jones on 01454 625252 to get started and see those savings soon.
