Yes; We work with many in-house operations providing on-going professional catering support and advice, working alongside your in-house catering team, to achieve a high quality service at the most cost efficient price. The aim of the service is to create and implement a “Vision” for your food service that will beat its competitors in terms of customer service, quality, price, innovation and value.
CaterMap has a Quality Assurance policy which operates throughout all our projects and we abide by the Code of Practice for professional catering consultants.
Following the free initial no obligation discussion, the consultant prepares your proposal detailing the services we recommend to achieve your objectives and maximising return on your investment. Most projects are agreed at a fixed fee with no hidden costs.
Our daily consultant rate is competitive in the market and inclusive of normal travel expenses and all administration costs.
Our proposals detail the services we recommend so that our clients know exactly what they are buying and how much it will cost with no hidden costs. In the majority of projects, our fees are more than recovered by the first year’s savings through the implementation of CaterMap strategies and recommendations.
The proposal will detail which consultant is leading the project and those associates carrying out other specific elements. With the exception of unforeseen circumstances, the consultant/s detailed will complete the project.
CaterMap’s fresh thinking has made a big difference to our school catering and the pupils.
