Planning
RIGHT CHOICE Camps & Catering tailors its camp services to meet the client’s needs and expectations.
Senior management staff carries out all project design, estimating, and general contract support. Prior to mobilizing the site, RIGHT CHOICE Camps & Catering’s operations and contract staff review the project to assess its requirements and identify best practices. Staffing strategies and logistics, equipment requirements, supplies and supply logistics and specific situations that may affect the project are all discussed at this stage. Start-up planning demands careful coordination of the following components:
Site previews by RIGHT CHOICE Camps & Catering:
- Communication with the client to agree on equipment, operating procedures, local hire and pay conditions, facility rules and regulations, meal hours and menus. RIGHT CHOICE Camps & Catering uses this opportunity to recommend adjustments that may be necessary to address re-supply access, vehicle traffic flow, people flow, and other site-specific issues;
- Determining which foods are required, ascertaining which food products will be available locally and which must be imported, reviewing alternative food sources and calculating cost-effectiveness;
- Source a reliable and good quality perishable food supplier (diary, eggs, produce) when applicable;
- Determining non-perishable commodities required and quantities needed; reviewing alternative sources and calculating cost-effectiveness;
- Visiting all local sources of supply to personally inspect the facilities, health and sanitation practices and negotiate supply contracts;
- Ordering and arranging for transport of materials and staff scheduling.
Staffing strategies are developed based on several factors:
- The size of the operation indicates staffing levels, based on RIGHT CHOICE Camps & Catering’s staffing ratios and experience for similar projects;
- Projects with the potential for major size variances on short notice are staffed on the higher side of the ratio to ensure service levels are maintained;
- Duration and timing of the operation affects staffing levels and selection of personnel. RIGHT CHOICE Camps & Catering sends greater numbers of staff where quick start-up or shutdown is necessary. On longer, more stable jobs staff size is tapered down after start-up;
- Staffing levels also vary with the size and design of the camp facilities, such as kitchen and dining area layout and the type of equipment supplied and its layout.
If RIGHT CHOICE Camps & Catering uses a client-supplied facility additional procedures are followed during start-up:
- Finalize the scope of work and responsibilities in regard to provision, maintenance, replacement and operation of the facilities and commercial kitchen equipment;
- Inventory equipment and condition and record via video/photos where possible;
- Existing foodstuffs are inventoried, evaluated and the client or outgoing caterer is credited appropriately.
Implementation, Management and Monitoring
