On Wednesday, September 18th, Patrick McDermott brought together key leaders and experts in the food service industry to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of school catering. 🔑 Key Takeaways: • The education market is likely to contract sooner rather than later. • School budgets will be increasingly constrained. • Quality will be king, with a shift towards high-quality offerings. • Change is inevitable. Now's the time to adapt, not bury our heads in the sand. • Sustainability efforts will only gain traction if they're cost-effective. • Plate waste is a hidden expense, driving unnecessary production and supply costs—most of it is avoidable. • Clear communication between consultants, caterers, and schools is key to success. • Caterers should become trusted advisors, driving ESG initiatives that benefit both schools and the sector. We want to extend a huge thank you to all of our guests for their valuable contributions and insights. Your expertise and collaboration are what drive progress in our industry.
