Recent Projects
Outdoor Dining
We were contacted by an existing client to design and build a new 140 cover outdoor dining space in a disused part of their Garden Centre. We helped source two original 1964 Air Streams and coordinated the designed and fitout of the fully operational kitchen and separate full-service bar as part of the turnkey agreement
Play Area
We worked with an existing client to bring forward a design and operational plan for a brand new play area within their Garden Centre. Working in unison with the very best play area manufacturers in the UK, we put together a fully costed design that included a café with full operational procedures and budgetary forecasts. The project was delivered on time, on budget and is now a pivotal part of the Garden Centre’s operation
Café
We worked collaboratively with a new client seeking to place a café into their Garden Centre. Despite restricted space, we were able to deliver a fully operational café and supported the design and project management. Our team set up the Standard Operating Procedures, recruited and trained a new team and delivered a successful and profitable café
Supply Chain Management
KosKo were contacted by an international hospitality group with sites in the UK and in Europe. They were in an existing 5 year agreement with one of the major UK foodservice distributors. We undertook to review the agreement and benchmark the commercial terms against similar operations. Through significant engagement and experience within this area, we were able to deliver a 7 figure saving over the life of the agreement without varying the terms or conditions
Hospitality Equipment Servicing
We have worked with a large hospitality group with over 17 locations across the UK, each using independent service engineers to maintain their commercial kitchens. We gathered all the information required from the client to prepare a tender, and ultimately delivered an agreement with just 1 service provider that included both reactive and planned maintenance; and that gave the client not only savings but a level of transparency and traceability not seen before
Farm Shop
We worked with a Garden Centre wishing to open a new farm shop but had been frustrated by previous specialist advice. We were able to adapt the proposed layout to make the farm shop more appealing and user friendly, and complete a full range review.
High Volume Kitchen
An existing client required a full kitchen equipment review of a newly acquired, high volume site serving up 3,000 meals a day. Working closely with the client, we nominated service and equipment suppliers, we assessed the existing asset, proposed a schedule, tendered the work and supervised the installation process to full completion without interrupting their service
