FoodSync were commissioned by Borough Care to review their food service, with a view to improving quality and consistency of the food offer in their group homes. We looked at a number of areas within the business carrying out site appraisals, reviewing systems and procedures, contracts with regard to best practice in the sector. This extended to specific areas such as nutrition and hydration, financial performance, procurement and resourcing.
We considered current performance and also how best we could future-proof the service in line with rising food costs and recruitment challenges in the sector. This resulted in an options appraisal and a series of recommendations for the client. Following this report we were retained to implement a new food service model, advising on procurement, nutrition, compliance, training and capital kitchen improvement works.
We developed a number of systems, procedures and tools to help the team deliver a first rate service in the future and provided a large amount of project management support through to recruitment and product selection. The new service was effectively rolled out in just over 2 months from instruction to go live.
AT A GLANCE
"Working with FoodSync delivered everything we could have asked for and more. They completed a thorough, detailed and considered evaluation of our existing food service and provided a balanced and thought-provoking comparison of that service against a range of alternative options. The level of professionalism, expertise and attention to detail provided at every step gave us the confidence to proceed and implement a wholesale change to a more varied, nutritionally-balanced, high-quality and resilient food service for our vulnerable client group. FoodSync provided support in all aspects of the transition: planning, procurement, systems, compliance, structures, etc. and committed time and energy whenever and wherever it was needed. Ultimately, we now have a successful, improved and thriving service, with consistently excellent feedback. The service from FoodSync was second-to-none: on time; on budget; and exceptionally high quality. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend FoodSync, and would be very happy to work with them again in future."
