VenuWorks is committed to delivering the best possible food and beverage service to our clients by adhering to the following principles:

• Offer local specialties whenever possible
• Negotiate national pricing, but purchase through local vendors
• Minimize loss and spoilage
• Conduct on-going quality assurance training

Catering

When the facility manager controls the catering operation, he or she can negotiate a total package that includes rental, equipment, and staffing fees along with catering considerations, allowing for an all-inclusive package. 

• Ongoing quality control
  
• Direct management of menu pricing, inventory management, and financial accountability
• Coffee Breaks and Bar Service
• Concession stand operations
  

Concessions

The VenuWorks approach to concessions combines innovative merchandising with optimum stand efficiency, assuring maximum sales and fast service. The proper placing of serving equipment speeds customer traffic flow and decision time, allowing each stand employee to serve the most customers in the shortest time.  Through the organized placement of equipment, the stand employee has arm-reach access to all merchandise, facilitating the formation of orderly lines.  The innovative use of color light, and other graphic techniques improves product presentation and promotes patronage.

Branded merchandise helps boost 'per caps'

In competing for the attention and the dollars of today's customer, concessionaires have come to realize that brand name recognition plays a critical role. Branded products have played a significant part in increasing per caps in VenuWorks-managed buildings. These products are capturing an ever increasing share of the food sales because:

• Customer preference and loyalty to regional and national brands
• Advertising impact of brand marketing
• Delivery of conveniently high quality products to consumers
  

Because each market is different, VenuWorks has found it to be in the best interest of our clients to custom tailor the choice of brands to each facility, thus allowing room for local tastes and popular local and regional brands.
