What is the difference between institutional catering and event catering?

How is a new client site mobilised?
Mobilisation starts with a review of the facility, users, expected volumes, access, equipment and commercial requirements. Menus, staffing, purchasing, training, controls and opening readiness are then prepared against the agreed plan.
How are food safety and service performance managed?
QHSE controls, operating routines, supervision and agreed reporting measures are built into the service plan. Review points are aligned with the client’s priorities and the final contract scope.
