Case study

Catering

The problem :

You’ve been working in meal delivery and have been offering off-site catering services for several years. Your competitors, however, are gaining ground. We spend a full day within your company to conduct a quality audit. Then we attend one of your events as a mystery guest to assess the real experience from your customers’ point of view.

We work with you to develop a strategy for refocusing your product offering, centered on enhancing the perceived value for your customers. We advise you in the recruitment of a new key kitchen resource: a culinary development R&D chef. It’s a significant investment, one that must generate a tangible return in the medium term to justify the expense.

Next, we coordinate a professional photoshoot with a food stylist to create visual content for your new website, developed in collaboration with the Webwizz partner we introduced to you. You then identify two upcoming events where you can showcase your latest creations. We take advantage of one of these events to organize a parallel photoshoot, designed to produce high-quality content for your social media platforms.

When you realize that we’ve successfully improved your brand perception with one of your top clients, you decide to invest in a senior business development position through an executive search mandate.

To conclude the project, we work with you on a series of structural changes within your events department, aimed at optimizing execution and boosting performance during events.

You are losing contracts to your competitors.

You want to renew your offering, but you think you won’t be able to do it as well as your competitor.

Your profit margin is not what it used to be.

Your product offering is no longer competitive.

Your culinary identity is dull: nothing differentiates you from the competition.

Your website has outdated visuals.
