Creating A

STANDOUT FOOD OFFERING

Within destination leisure, we believe that the right foodservice offering has the ability to enrich visitors’ brand experience by telling part of the story, as well as lengthening dwell time and increasing spend on-site. That’s why we ensure our quality product range gives caterers full traceability and a considered point of difference.

We seek to remain relevant to your consumers, working closely with our suppliers to bring the right products and innovation to the fore. With the assistance of our Executive Development Chef to create or revamp culinary concepts for a multitude of skill levels and scales, we’re there every step of the way to help catering teams deliver consistently profitable solutions that customers will return for again and again.

A Partnership Approach

MENU ENGINEERING

Our sector specialist team have a deep understanding of consumer psychology affecting decision making. From the length of descriptions against each menu item, to the decimal points used in your pricing, every detail can determine consumers’ behaviour. We pride ourselves on our partnership approach and can provide more than a traditional café or coffee shop wholesaler.

Whether you’re looking for confirmation that your current menu targets the right demographic or if you require support with a complete menu revamp, we can analyse current consumer insight and align this with new product innovation to ensure your menu hits the mark, even mocking up new designs for you.

SECTOR
EXPERTISE

Covid-19 has resulted in a range of additional challenges for the leisure sector, with consumer spending and behaviour changing throughout the pandemic. We have a team of experts here at Creed, including our Insight Manager who can provide advice and guidance based on our own experience alongside sector insights, so you can make informed decisions about the catering offering in your care home.

The out of home market has worked hard in recent years to capitalise on consumers' desire to save money, keep up with the needs of a diversifying nation and an increased awareness of allergies and emphasis on wellness. Garden centres and leisure destinations may not typically be located near to shops, cafés and restaurants on a high street, but they should be taking notice of the activity in this environment.
