We have focused heavily on satisfying the requirements of the market through investment in systems, processes and personnel skills and experience that best fit the demands of residents and clients within government legislation.

As no two facilities are the same in terms of resident mix, we do not have a universal model that we roll out across the country. Our menus are formulated via client budgets, resident likes, and nutritional balance. Residents and clients alike are involved heavily in menu selection. We understand that meal service is one of the more important activities of the day for residents, therefore we survey and use feedback from meetings to tailor menus on a regular basis.

Unique within the contract catering industry, every member of our operations team is a trade qualified chef. Our Operations Division is backed by Training Managers, and our own dedicated Quality and Regulatory Compliance department who manage the ever increasing demands of government legislation imposed on aged care facilities.

In 35 years of business, we have never had a major non-conformance, or put our client’s reputation at risk through accreditation failures.

We take full control of your catering operation, to include:
