The catering industry and especially community catering (company restaurants) are facing enormous challenges, not only because of the current corona situation.
Major changes in consumer eating habits, “convenience” for the customer in every situation, wellness and health, price sensitivity, growing competition from small, agile catering concepts in a business that traditionally has to operate with very low margins, demand quick yet sustainable answers to these questions:
- How do I contribute to the health and wellbeing of my guests?
- How do I create an experience and service that keeps customers with me?
- How do I reduce the risk of a singular dependence on my core business?
- Which operating model is suitable for my business?
- How can I successfully manage this operating model?
- How do I ensure lasting results?
