Operations Fixing

We understand the challenges catering businesses face. We're here to help you overcome operational headaches and achieve lasting success.

Common Catering Problems in Christchurch

We frequently see Christchurch catering businesses struggling with:

  • Inconsistent Food Control Plans & Compliance: Outdated plans leading to fines.
  • Complex Council Registration Processes: Confusing local requirements.
  • Inefficient Kitchen Workflows: Cramped layouts causing delays.
  • Staff Training Gaps: Inconsistent food safety practices.
  • Supplier Reliability & Traceability Issues: Late deliveries disrupting menus.
  • Record-Keeping & Documentation Overload: Manual systems leading to errors.
  • Managing Risk in Diverse Menus: Difficulty adapting to special diets.
  • Equipment Failures & Maintenance: Breakdowns crippling operations.
  • Last-Minute Changes & Demanding Clients: Inflexible systems unable to adapt.
  • Balancing Growth & Compliance: Overwhelming logistics as businesses scale.

Bleeding Money? Focus on the Basics

If your catering company is losing money due to operational issues, the first thing we’d tell you is: fix your kitchen workflow and compliance basics — fast.

Inefficient kitchen flow wastes time and labour. Non-compliance risks fines. Staff training gaps cause mistakes. Supplier issues lead to waste.

Start with these basics – if your kitchen isn’t running like a well-oiled machine, no amount of marketing will fix your bottom line.

From War Zone to Well-Oiled Machine

One of our clients in Christchurch was struggling with constant compliance fails, late supplier deliveries, and a chaotic kitchen. The owner was skeptical about bringing in outside help.

We audited their Food Control Plan, kitchen workflow, and staff training. Within weeks, we streamlined prep stations, redesigned logs, and trained their team.

The results:

  • Passed their next council verification with zero issues.
  • Reduced food waste by 15%.
  • Cut prep time by 25%.
  • Saved thousands in fines.

Most importantly, the owner got their kitchen and sanity back.
