Project Scope
Post 2020 lockdowns, The Fold Cafe and much of its Operations were closed. We were tasked with reviving the Cafe and Operations, and seconded to be Operations Manager for the entire complex – Organic Farm, Farm Shop, Therapy Centre, Artisan Studios, and overall management of re-opening the Cafe to a Vegetarian only menu.
We achieved the following:
– Developed and implemented the Food Strategy, including food ethos, sourcing strategy, waste management
– Cafe re-opening, Transition to Vegetarian only menu, Ongoing Head Chef & team
– Sourcing strategy – Organic, local, and sourced on-farm where possible
– Food Waste Management – implemented effective food waste repurposing, via local wormery, and onsite on-farm composting plan for cafe disposables
