For our seventh workshop, the BCCPA has partnered with our valued commercial member and 2015 Annual Conference Silver sponsor, Sysco Canada, to host its first Okanagan workshop in Kelowna! This afternoon workshop will address issues about rising food costs, delivering nutritional meals, and ways to control these rising costs.

Workshop Topic

How to Provide Nutritious and Delicious for $6 a Day

workshop2In today’s economic environment, do you struggle with consistently maintaining your food costs? Is the rising cost of Protein and Produce forcing you to adjust your menu selections? Do you wish you could eliminate snacks or downgrade to 2 meals per day? Do you find that sometimes lower cost means lower quality and less value?

Do you ever wish you had someone that could keep tabs on your food cost daily?

Well then, you do not want to miss this opportunity to learn new and innovative ways to keep your food costs under control and on budget. Come and share your experiences, hear about other industry colleagues’ solutions, and learn new ways to stay on budget with your food costs.

Come with an open mind and be prepared to walk away with good ideas that you can implement right away to start keeping you on budget, at the same time delivering Nutritious and Delicious Meals to your residents for $6 per day.
