Innovate Services focussed on incorporating the very latest equipment into the kitchen and serving areas, including a new hot chute, which allows large quantities of hot “grab and go” items such as hot wraps and paninis to be stored and displayed. A full range of hot meals, pasta pots, chilled baguettes, wraps, sandwiches, fresh salads and hot and cold drinks are also available, offering real choice. Eye-catching menu boards and signage have been installed to help attract more students into the dining area and ensure the food offer is well communicated.
Ken Robb, Finance and Operations Director at the Academy confirms: “Since the new building launched, we have already seen the number of transactions increase to an average of 1,000 a day. We are receiving excellent feedback from students and staff regarding the new arrangements. The atmosphere, food and serving experience have all been highly praised since they launched; I have received much verbal feedback, plus emails from our governors complimenting the food, which is very positive.”
