Winter Healthcheck
For most in the visitor attraction business this is a relatively quiet time of the year- with the exception of February half term. So, what better time than now to get your catering facilities prepared for the rush of visitors that Easter will hopefully bring? That's why we have put our heads together to compile a six point Healthcheck tool to help venues optimise the quiet period to ensure success in the coming year.
We recommend using this downtime to review past successes and failures, discover new products, plan your menus, benchmark your offer and prices, organise niggling maintenance jobs, train and motivate your staff- and catch up on all that paperwork. Our Healthcheck tool will help you identify and plan tasks. You can bet the best catering operators will be using this quiet time to maximise their opportunities for the forthcoming season- make sure you do too!

We can arrange for one of our consultants to spend a day with your team to identify and prioritise areas for action, bring fresh ideas and motivate your team through the winter blues.
