Foodservice: The unsung hero of hospitality

Often overlooked or under-appreciated, foodservice can be one of the most powerful profit drivers in the hospitality industry. Yet, the challenges of running a successful, profitable operation have never been greater. Whether it’s an on-property restaurant, banquet operation, grab-and-go kiosk or anything in between, many of these challenges are surprisingly similar. 

Consumer attitudes, tastes and needs are constantly evolving. They’re choosing fresher and healthier options, putting a premium on having an organized, well-run kitchen with an effective food rotation system in place. Food rotation systems keep foodservice operations organized and running smoothly, especially for room service, restaurants, banquets, events and grab-and-go situations. A heightened focus on dietary needs and food allergies means consumers are paying more attention to ingredients. Cross-contamination in the kitchen and labeling for grab-and-go and takeout selections require more of your attention than they may have in the past.  

Online reviews are changing the game. Consumers not only expect more from foodservice operations, online reviews have made sharing experiences accessible to the public. Miss the mark and your customers may tell the world. 

NCCO products help serve safer, fresher food while increasing revenues, boosting guest satisfaction and reducing waste.

Guest Checks

If your operation provides a full-service, sit-down restaurant on your property, streamlining your business while providing superb service is key to a satisfying experience — and to increasing average sale per guest. National Checking Company’s Guest ChecksTM can help you do both. The wide variety of styles offers plenty of room to write customer orders. Our signature seating diagram and menu prompts reminding servers to upsell more profitable menu items provides your business the tools to succeed.

Food Safety Training

Finding and retaining qualified, well-trained staff is harder than ever. Training new staff frequently includes more than just learning your business, oftentimes you must teach how to safely handle food and prevent cross-contamination. Rather than manage training on a one-by-one basis, foodservice operators are turning to online courses from Always Food Safe to train staff in safe food handling. With an entertaining and educational approach, Always Food Safe’s video courses feature a unique formula of “real people in real kitchens,” so learners see the mistakes, remember critical points and look forward to learning more.  Always Food Safe’s trainings are 100% online and easily accommodate busy schedules. Bulk course pricing makes it affordable for your business to train staff across multiple locations.

Food Safety Products

Proper tools, proven systems and effective training make safe food handling — critical to all foodservice businesses — second nature during prep, cooking and serving. Knowing which products to use first reduces risk of spoilage. NCCO’s DateIt™ Food Rotation Labeling System improves inventory management, avoids cross-contamination, ensures safety, helps assure health inspectors that your kitchen promotes consistent processes, reduces waste — and saves time and money. With a variety of styles, colors, sizes and shapes and dissolving, removable or permanent labels options, our DateIt system is a smart choice for your kitchen.
