Why sports and leisure catering venues need to up their game!

Food, beverage and hospitality sales are a major source of revenue for leisure and sports stadium catering venues across the UK. Get your kitchen set up right, and it can open multiple, lucrative revenue streams.

In a competitive market, however, there is no room for shortcuts or inefficiencies.

Whether its half-time snacks, corporate buffets, wedding catering or commercial hospitality on match days, maintaining an effective, organised and well-equipped kitchen behind the scenes is imperative for delivery of great customer service, food and operational efficiency.

The significance of investing in high quality, well-maintained kitchen equipment in a sports stadium catering environment shouldn’t be underestimated. Without the right catering tools and set-up, your staff and kitchen cannot function efficiently or be in the best possible position to satisfy your customers.

Sports stadium catering is big business, but it must be meticulously planned and delivered

A big part of ensuring you function at 100% operational efficiency is recruiting the right staff but also investing in the most appropriate type of kitchen equipment that’s designed to specifically support the volume and type of leisure catering that you manage on a regular basis.

Linked to that need is the necessity to have access to a trusted business that can regularly service and maintain your kitchen environment in line with relevant standards so that any immediate defects, repairs and/or downtime are minimised.

Sports venue catering is recognised as a high-pressure environment which requires robust and reliable equipment and this needs to be carefully managed and serviced on an ongoing basis to ensure that your expectations and workload can be met. Any shortcomings or attention to detail and your service and food quality will soon fall short of what your customers expect from you.

Best for budget equipment that deals with high volume demands is a must-have

The sheer volume, logistical complexities and blend of catering that sport stadiums provide means that their kitchen design, installation and equipment need to be carefully considered to ensure that the environment as a whole works and is compliant with relevant health, safety and hygiene regulations.

It's extremely important to ensure that your kitchen equipment should be sourced with emphasis on delivering the volume you manage and available space that you have.

Catering managers should be considering equipment that makes food prep and delivery quicker, easier and more efficient. Appliances like high-capacity, induction and speed ovens, combi ovens, fryers and synergy grills are popular, alongside the latest in energy efficient refrigeration and dishwasher/glasswasher appliances.

Energy efficient appliances are often a priority

More sports and leisure environments are now prioritising the need for energy efficient appliances, given the rising cost of energy. That means they can deliver more food, for less, without any compromise in terms of service delivery and cost.

For many, the rising cost of energy is a significant problem. With the latest energy efficient kitchen equipment, there is potential for saving money, without having to raise prices, and/or dilute your customer services.
