GROW YOUR CATERING BANDWIDTH WITHOUT ADDITIONAL HEADCOUNT

The demand for restaurant catering is at an all-time high. It’s a huge opportunity to replace lost dining revenue and increase profitability. However, managing the catering process can be a challenge.

Most restaurants are already dealing with staffing issues, so choosing a qualified catering sales manager might feel impossible. What if you outsourced this role instead of hiring?

Welcome to New Catering Connections. With decades of experience in restaurant catering sales, we function as an extension of your team. We represent you. With monthly programs starting at just seven (7) hours, we can help restaurant groups of any size. A customized beginning to end sales program where you own the relationship, the data, and the customer

I'M READY!

Catering Sales with a Strategic Approach

TARGETING

Customer targets are generated monthly based on company size, industry, and the calendar. We build custom lists monthly so that we are having effective conversations during the best listening windows of the year

MESSAGING

Your messaging will be customized to those calendar driven events. So we won't just ask "do you cater?", we will ask, "with Employee Appreciation Day coming in March, have you made plans yet to celebrate? If so, are you planning on meals as part of it?"

WORK FLOW

Catering relationships are built on trust, which cannot be completely established during a single call. That's why we have developed a 7-Step communication process designed to communicate with qualified prospects over a six to eight week period.

That link will share more about how our program works. At NCC, we work with restaurant groups of any size. So, if you are a single-unit owner, a multi-unit group, an emerging brand with 10-100 locations, or a large enterprise brand, we have programs that fit.

All programs can run monthly, so you are never tied into a program for longer than you want to be. We also have programs as low as 7-hours/month, all the way up to 100+ hours/week (or more). We have programs that fit any size.

The biggest benefit? Is that you can add or reduce hours monthly as needed. This flexibility allows you to control your budget, and to carefully add more support during the busiest seasons, and cut back during the post-holiday dip, and the Summertime blues...

When you hire, that cost is the same, all year long... we can help you be more strategic with your spend.

What you get...

DEDICATED BRAND MANAGER

Your Catering Brand Manager is your main POC, and manages your Catering Sales Team

Our team is highly trained with years of experience in catering. This isn't just a way to generate leads. This is a total "sales system" designed to take your prospect from first outreach to closing/booking. Your Brand Manager is your main point of contact for your restaurant and your customers. They will be managing a team of other experts who will be supporting your program in a variety of ways.

A STATE-OF-THE-ART CRM

The data we collect belongs to you...

Your expert will work through a CRM APP on their computer. This APP has full two-way communication (phone, voicemail, email, text, etc). Everything is captured and stored within the CRM. This allows your expert to spend more time having quality conversations and less time with administrative tasks.

CONSISTENT ACTIVITIES OVER TIME

Growing catering sales take time...being consistent gets you there faster

For the first few months we are filling the funnel. Having dozens of “first conversations” with potential customers. As your program continues, your qualified list grows, and you will begin to see more inbound communication and more orders.
