Services
The use of technology alone is never enough. The inTEAM approach is based on the principles of our founders in their book School Foodservice Management for the 21st Century.
We start with Menu Planning, analyzing Key Performance Indicators to make data-driven decisions in critical areas to develop recommendations: Financial Management & Cost Controls, Department Organization & Staffing, and Marketing & Communications.
inTEAM consultants work hand-in-hand with clients to identify and focus on program inefficiencies; Treating customers as partners to plan, implement, and measure the impact of technology-driven change.
Measurement, Planning & Implementation
Most programs operate using multiple software systems, however, there are considerable efficiencies to be gained by utilizing an all-in-one solution, resulting in improved outcomes.
inTEAM reviews the various technology tools being utilized and their effectiveness in your “Current State” and makes recommendations for solutions that improve ongoing program performance.
Consultants provide support throughout adoption to ensure a smooth transition regardless of whether you have existing legacy systems or are completely new to utilizing tools to drive efficiencies. inTEAM takes a “menu-centric” approach to operational analysis. Helping manage the development and maintenance of your menu plans and recipes, offering suggestions that may improve engagement and participation. Data points are evaluated for overall effectiveness and aids in the development of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
