Food & Beverage Services
At the heart of every private club's operation is the food and beverage department, which is central to the success of all elements of club operations. The ability to successfully "bring the membership to the table" -- and to keep them there -- is the direct result of an efficient, highly motivated, well-trained staff devoted to serving quality food and beverages and, just as importantly, to guaranteeing a memorable experience for every guest.
RCS provides industry-leading services for clubs seeking to up their food and beverage game. It begins with our signature Food and Beverage Audit and continues with our internationally respected staff training.
Investigate the options below and get in touch with us to begin the process of making your club a food and beverage winner.
The Signature RCS Food & Beverage Audit
The RCS Hospitality Group is known throughout the industry for its comprehensive food and beverage audit, providing a 360Ëš operational map of your operation and your team. The audit begins with an analysis of your operation from a bottom-line perspective. Before ever arriving at your club, our experts have already analyzed statistical and financial data and have developed an understanding of your budget and multi-year trends.
Once the on-site portion of the process begins we interview key staff members, observe service and kitchen functions in action, and attend meetings and other interactions between managers and staff.
We evaluate:
Finances
Service quality and techniques
Staff and management competency
Training Opportunities
Brand integrity and communications
Event schedules, quality, and management
Point-of-sale use and accuracy
Menus, profitability, item placement, and pricing
Hours of operation
The quality of the member experience
Transactional and behavioral trends among staff
Marketing materials for accuracy and brand reinforcement
Selling techniques
Operational procedures, such as ordering, inventory, and accounting
At the end of the process you will know where your club is today, how it got there, where it needs to be, how it can get there, and what tools, resources, and procedures it must implement to achieve profit, pride,
and member satisfaction.
