Case Studies

Case Study 1: A North London Academy selected Olive Dining Ltd to transform its meal offer and ensure that the food was audited to deliver a 95% freshly prepared menu offer.

The changes Olive Dining Ltd has made, have ensured that uptake of school meals increased and that there is a pleasant restaurant environment for the pupils to enjoy during their break.

Case Study 2: A School in North East London selected Olive Dining Ltd with a brief to improve the food quality, increase the variety, ensure that the menu offered was freshly prepared using fresh ingredients only. Additionally, the challenge was to improve the Customer Dining experience and improve the flow.

Olive Dining restructured the existing team and recruited a site based Executive Chef to prepare and manage the daily food offer.

To increase the volume and speed of service a mirrored counter was introduced with a full and plentiful salad bar in the middle to serve both counters. The emphasis at this school was to run an efficient service that would offer the students the opportunity to eat many different cuisines and have a complete dining experience. The Dining Hall now looks less like a “canteen” but more like a Restaurant or Dining hall.
