Clarion Group Provides Insights To Corporate Dining Services Across New York

For the past fourteen years, Clarion Group has persevered to provide New York firms, institutions, universities, and companies with the top dining service consultants in the business. The company consists of experienced dining service consultants who possess skills within interdisciplinary services in all aspects of food service operations, planning and design.

"[The company] aims to provide the best business plan development and management to help increase our client's sales to meet their financial objectives and also bring customer satisfaction," Clarion Group Representatives claimed. "Our consultants carry a vast knowledge of how the food service industry functions. They cater to the most common to the most complex questions: Are my customers satisfied with my dining and/or vending services? How can I improve these services? Where are the resources? Who can provide them? How do we negotiate with them?"

Operational and Financial Consulting:

Clarion Group consultants evaluate all financial and operational aspects of dining services within a business. This includes marketing, merchandising, promotions, food handling, management competence, labor utilization, preparation and service. Consults are called on to find any deficiencies or complications within these factors and provide the client with possible solutions.

Strategic and Business Plan Development:

Clarion Group's dining service advisors informs each client as to what can be done to increase sales and reduce costs. Advisors analyze the numbers and sales figures while simultaneously examining the way the service is being provided - marketing, merchandising and presentation, efficiency in food handling, preparation and service, staffing, and a host of other operational details in an effort to create a customer-satisfying and cost-effective business.

Customer Research:

Clarion Group consultants examine sales statistics, conduct focus group discussion and surveys in order to fully understand customer preferences. Consults will often ask, "Do your customers loathe their mealtime selections? Do they like it? How can you improve?"

After the research process, Clarion Group representatives inform the client as to what exactly what can be done to exploit new opportunities to augment the value of the services to your students, employees, guests and other constituencies.

Food service contractor management and quality assurance audits:

The company's expertise also includes examining contractors' and self-managed operations' financial statements and their underlying records. Any unreported data will be found and provided for the client. Moreover, representatives audit dining service operations in order to provide monthly, quarterly, or annual reviews of financial performance. They take notes on the strengths and weaknesses within a company's dining services and sales and recommend improvements where necessary.

Dining Insights:

Their skills include strategic and business plan development, operational and financial consulting, employee relations, food service contractor management, quality audits, customer research, marketing and promotions, and so forth.
