Catering Reviews

Clarity. Insight. Performance.

What’s the real cost of your catering operation? Is it running at peak efficiency? Are you getting the value you think you are? Whether you’re managing in-house services or working with a contractor, a strategic catering review can uncover hidden inefficiencies, unlock savings, and elevate the experience for every diner.

Is your contract delivering on quality, consistency, and customer satisfaction? Is your team operating at full potential or just about meeting your needs? If you are not asking these questions regularly, you could be leaving money, loyalty, and performance on the table.

At MYA, we bring a fresh, experienced perspective to catering consultancy across every sector—from schools and universities to healthcare, hospitality, and public institutions. We look beyond the day-to-day to assess the bigger picture: systems, staffing, value, and customer experience. Our goal? To help you make food service confident with evidence-based decisions that drive performance upwards.

We understand that catering is complex. With fragmented systems, layered contracts, and competing priorities, it’s easy to lose clarity. That’s where we come in. Using robust modelling, benchmarking, and industry insights, we cut through the noise to give you a clear view of what’s working—and what isn’t.

And we don’t stop at diagnosis. We work with you to design practical, forward-thinking strategies tailored to your goals, budgets, and challenges.

Working to your brief, we’ll help you:

Build a forward-looking strategic plan
Benchmark performance and spot inefficiencies
Maximise value for money
Review systems, quality, and workflows
Identify new opportunities for impact and improvement

A strategic catering review isn’t just a health check—it’s a launchpad.

Let MYA shine a light on your operation and help you plan a smarter, stronger future.

We recently worked with the team at MYA on a bid for a tender for multiple catering sites. Their proactive, innovative and dynamic approach to the task was a breath of fresh air, and we were able to work systematically through a complex set of designs with an abundance of creativity and design options to consider. Throughout the whole process, the team at MYA were fully engaged and, above all, great fun to work with. I will definitely be working with the team again on future projects and would highly recommend them as design consultants.

We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with MYA on the City of London School for Girls project at the Barbican, London. One of the standout aspects of MYA’s involvement was their swift, detailed, and highly effective coordination of design elements. MYA’s proactive approach, attention to detail, and dedication to achieving design harmony made them an invaluable partner in this project. Their ability to strategically align diverse design aspects contributed significantly to the success of the collaboration, reinforcing the importance of well-integrated teamwork in delivering high-quality solutions.

The team, led by Carla McKenzie, were meticulous in every detail. They modelled the cleaning requirements to deliver the optimum solution for the facilities across EMEA, and really took time to understand the culture of our business. I have no hesitation in recommending MYA and its team – they are dedicated and innovative, and always go the extra mile.

Carla and her team have broad experience in the industry. Apart from being very supportive in inventing (new) concepts, they also make use of their many years of experience when implementing these concepts. Their ultimate goal is to let people enjoy honest and good food.

Carla and her team worked tirelessly with us to ensure our very international and cross-cultural needs were met with great creativity and skill. They listened to us, responded to our needs and delivered above expectations.

They are brave enough to challenge others in pursuit of the ultimate solution, whether it be behind the scenes with kitchen flow and catering management, or front-of-house service and design.

If all companies who serve the independent school sector had your breadth of vision and openness of mind, I have little doubt that the sector would be a richer and more exciting place to be.

Phillip Godfrey, Bursar, Halliford School
During the negotiation process, Carla’s knowledge and expertise enabled our company to achieve a very strong commercial outcome, and some significant savings were yielded from the exercise.
