Managing Contract Caterers Seminar

The consultancy has developed and delivers seminars on Managing Contract Caterers.

Feedback from the most recent seminar was extremely positive, with delegates returning to work feeling empowered to manage their contract caterer more effectively.

This 1-day session was developed for Facilities Managers, Financial Directors, Personnel and Human Resource Managers, or anyone with responsibility for managing an outsourced catering service, and for those planning or considering outsourcing their catering for the first time.

The seminar was designed to assist delegates in finding bespoke solutions to their catering needs and to provide an insight into how catering operations work, along with an understanding of catering finance.

Topics included:

• the client/contractor relationship
• legal responsibilities
• it's all about food!
• catering finance
• what is value for money?
• nil subsidy and fixed cost contracts
• discounts, overriders and rebates
• understanding catering accounts
• establishing key performance indicators
• regular operational and financial performance reviews
• when things go wrong

As well as our general seminars, the consultancy can also offer bespoke seminars for individual organisations.
