The school food service concept...
...that transforms school meals
All over the UK EATdot is privileged to be working alongside Schools who run their own food services.
The bright and vibrant makeover of services and dining areas, coupled with the EATdot signage and point of sale marketing, is just the 'front end' of a refreshing approach to School meal provision.
We support you to deliver an unparalleled quality of service and an exciting and attractive food offer - all at a cost that really can be associated with the words 'best value'.
Food is at the centre of any school catering department and our menus will ensure you not only meet Government guidelines but exceed them. We provide two sets of menus, one which is designed to be entirely home produced and is fully supported with tried and tested recipes.
The behind the scenes support we deliver enables Schools to fulfil their potential. From the recommended business and accounting processes to our procurement systems, secure website support and the 'human' interaction with EATdot Advisers and our central marketing team. Everything we do is focussed on supporting Schools to maximise the benefits of an 'In-House' food service operation.
We work hard to make sure every School feels part of a nationwide team, with a sense of belonging and purpose, sharing best practice and making the most of the opportunity to excel in student dining services.
EATdot Advisers are experienced in managing a service change from either a Contractor or Local Authority and they are ready to meet with you to explore the possibilities.
With no change in student tariffs or the staffing structure, our experience has demonstrated that Schools will make substantial savings on their current budget.
Why not reduce the costs of your food services and release funds to spend elsewhere. The added bonus is that you will be improving the student dining experience at the same time.
Firstly, students are attracted by a range of modern signage and an optional makeover of the food service area. Perhaps more importantly, they are treated as "real consumers" with targeted internal marketing campaigns, a high standard of food, and staff who understand customer service ~ a retail approach.
Secondly, enticing, carefully developed and nutritionally balanced menus are recommended, which along with comprehensive support frameworks and advisory information (much of which can be downloaded from the Internet), results in an improved, professional approach to the delivery of your food services.
Finally, ongoing support is provided to drive operational excellence, the introduction of new ideas, and compliance with statutory and best practice requirements.
EATdot has been developed to be completely flexible so that it will meet the needs of every potential scenario. Current operating units range from "hole in the wall" serving hatches to modern serveries - in every case the effect has been outstanding.
Sales have exceeded budget, spend per head has increased and Food Focus Groups have, without exception, reported an improvement in food quality, portions and general service levels.
