MANAGEMENT ADVISORY SERVICE CONSULTANCY
Management Advisory Services (or MAS) encompasses a wide range of management, operational, financial, and culinary skills and talents.
The role of the foodservice MAS consultant is generally to aid the client in creating and sustaining a foodservice program that fulfils the client’s philosophical vision, while meeting practical functional and financial goals.
To accomplish this, there are literally thousands of details that the MAS consultant must address. Some major categories include:
- Concept and menu development
- Human relations
- Purchasing
- Government regulations
- Industry best practices
- Culinary creativity
- Discipline
- Cost controls
Positive management principles
Skilfully analysing and synthesising complicated concepts and then communicating these concepts to a client in actionable steps is an essential skill. Because the foodservice industry is constantly evolving, vacillating between short-term fads and long-term trends, the MAS consultant must commit to lifelong learning.
A MAS consultant’s ability to create and sustain a trusting relationship with clients will be the foundation for securing future clients.
