Catering Project Management using PRINCE2

Ramsay Todd food consultants are experts in managing large-scale catering projects and as PRINCE2 practitioners we use the PRINCE2 methodology, where required, to improve the success of those catering projects.

Our food consultants provide structure, focus and delivery of projects.

We establish the catering project plan, create a project team and set deadlines for each stage of the delivery.

We then closely monitor the progress of the catering project and keep the team focused.

Risks and issues are highlighted so that solutions and mitigations can be provided to you, where required.

Our progress is tracked so we can advise key stakeholders of, ensuring there are no surprises. On completion of the project, we conduct a ‘lessons learned’ exercise, which can then be used for reference for other projects.

Catering project management FAQs

Do Ramsay Todd Food Consultants use PRINCE2?

Yes.  We have adopted the PRINCE2 accredited project management system.

What is PRINCE2?

PRINCE2 is the UK standard for best practice in project management and is in widespread use throughout the public and private sectors both in the UK and overseas. PRINCE2 is process based and provides generic guidance for any type of project to increase successful project management.

Do catering project managers need to be PRINCE2 practitioners?

If the role of the catering project manager involves formal projects, then yes it will improve the structure by utilising an accredited project management approach. It's particularly useful if your organisation already uses the Prince2 methodology as we will then all speak the same language.

Is it better to have a food consultant (project manager) who is a qualified PRINCE2 practitioner?

Yes. In the food and beverage industry, a catering project manager doesn’t necessarily need to use PRINCE2 methodology but applied sensibly it will increase the chances of your catering management projects being successful. Project management can be completed without PRINCE2 and there are other project management systems that can be used however our approach ensures we are highly qualified and competent at delivery. 

Why would it be beneficial if the food consultant was a PRINCE2 practitioner?

PRINCE2 is the world’s most practiced project management methodology that improves effectiveness, communication and ultimately success for projects of all kinds.
