Food Solutions.

June 2000 – Present (11 years 11 months) Ann Arbor, Michigan

Food Solutions is a unique food service program that allows for sustained success and continuity of service not found in the on site market. While large corporate food service providers often fail to keep personalized service at the top of their list and small independent operators lack the systems to support service and product consistency - The Cafe for the Modern Workplace® provides a fully branded and sustainable cafe and coffee bar concept. The concept brings award winning marketing materials, delicious and health conscious menu options, and documented systems and tools that provide the key to long term success.
