Food Service and Catering Consultants

How our catering consultancy can help you

As catering consultants, we believe that catering services can say a lot about an organisation’s professionalism and customer service. If the services are good, then staff and visitors gain a favourable impression. Get it wrong and the reverse is true.

With financial constraints leading to a shortage of resources it is sometimes necessary to enlist external help to achieve organisational objectives. At Ramsay Todd we can help you identify catering service improvements, whether it be strategically, financially or operationally driven and produce workable solutions that will make a difference.

Contact our catering consultants for a free appointment to assess your catering management requirements. There is no obligation to proceed if you’re not entirely happy with our proposal.
