Selecting Contract Catering Companies
If you’re faced with a decision of numerous contract catering companies, you need to ask yourself; which one should I choose and why? This guide should point you in the direction of the elements you should consider when outsourcing your catering.
Unrivalled Quality
Well firstly, you should expect an unrivalled level of quality.
This can take many forms, but most notably you should expect (and seek reassurances from potential contract catering companies for) a wide selection of food that is varied in its delivery and frequency, together with a level of service that you would expect from a more traditional dining atmosphere.
Consultant Services have several levels and options when it comes to your contract catering needs, from a more bistro catering solution of Cafe Bistro to Consultant Caterer’s Classic Cooking brand, focusing on preparing good food in a time honoured way.
Comfortable Atmosphere
You should also expect your contract catering to be provided in a setting that provides a comfortable atmosphere.
Not only do we have several brands to offer that can service needs from a Continental Cafe setting to a full staff bistro restaurant, but we can consult on kitchen design and catering area planning to develop a catering service that is designed and built by the very people that will use and deliver the catering.
Healthy Options
Your catering should have distinct focus, and have a good knowledge of Healthy Eating options. Our on-display menus will inform of nutritional content, giving an option for an informed decision without looking to force the issue.
Taking this proactive approach has enabled us to minimise fat, sugar and salt within our food and provide a varied healthy alternative. You can read more on our Food for Life page.
Safety & Hygiene Credentials
You should be confident that the contract catering companies you are speaking with have good hygiene and safety knowledge and credentials.
Health & Safety, and in particular hygiene underpins all catering services, and it is to that end Consultant Services Group have established a Health & Safety Newsletter to inform and advise on the topic. All of their knowledge and expertise is fully accountable by way of industry recognised accreditations. From CHAS memberships, to RoSPA Awards for Occupational Health & Safety in the Workplace.
Following the key expectations above will help you proactively select your contract catering partner.
