BETTER FOOD. BIGGER PROFITS.

Helping Australian licensed community clubs build more profitable, better-performing catering operations.

IMPROVE YOUR CATERING PERFORMANCE

PROBLEMS WE REGULARLY SOLVE:

  • Strong sales don’t necessarily mean strong profits. When food costs, wages, pricing, purchasing and productivity aren’t aligned, revenue can disappear quickly.

    A good place to start → Catering Business Audit

  • Small inefficiencies across purchasing, portioning, rostering and productivity can have a significant impact on catering margins.

    A good place to start → Operational Review

  • Sometimes the problem is obvious. Sometimes the numbers simply tell you something isn’t right. An independent review can identify where performance is being lost and where the biggest opportunities exist.

    A good place to start → Monthly Catering Performance Reports

  • Recruitment, leadership, accountability and performance issues can quickly become operational and financial problems. We help Club Managers navigate catering personnel issues with practical industry experience.

    A good place to start → Chef & Catering Personnel Support

  • A popular menu isn’t necessarily a profitable one. Your food and beverage offer needs to balance what members want with what performs commercially.

    A good place to start → Menu & Wine List Engineering

  • When feedback is mixed or visitation is declining, an independent view can help uncover what members and guests are actually experiencing.

    A good place to start → Customer Experience Audit

  • Moving away from a contract caterer creates opportunity, but getting the transition wrong can be expensive. We help clubs establish the people, processes and commercial foundations needed to operate successfully from day one.

    A good place to start → Contract Catering Transition & Project Management

  • We help clubs fine tune their banquet operation, provide structure around production quantities, cost & price all event style menus and work to deliver the highest net margin food offer available to clubs.

    A good place to start → Operational Review for functions & events

Club catering can look busy without performing well.

When sales, costs, people and customer expectations all collide, it isn’t always obvious where the real problem lies. We help Club Managers identify what’s holding their catering operation back and what needs to change.

What our Clients Say

  • Shortly after I commenced, we engaged Profitable Club Catering Solutions as our consultant Catering Manager. Following the implementation of the new menu, changes to the kitchen operation and mentoring of our Head Chef, the club has seen an improvement in our net result by $257,920 in the 5 months to August 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025.

     Paul Clarke
    CEO - Macksville Ex-Services Club

  • We have been fortunate to learn a lot from the team at Profitable Club Catering Solutions. Their advice and guidance have been invaluable for our management team and from their experience we have been provided with a practical, relevant, real-world perspective approach to key areas such as food cost control, using SRC’s for profit, and how to align kitchen operations with financial objectives.

    Sara Watkins
    CEO – Miranda Diggers RSL Club

  • The results speak for themselves… after Profitable Club Catering Solutions were involved, gross bistro sales increased by 13.26%, food costs reduced by 4.86%, wage costs reduced by 6.06% and most importantly our net profit improved from 3.53% to 16.17%.

    Michael Jones
    CEO – Club Warwick

  • The management team and I now have more confidence in our food offer and our catering operation, and we continue to maintain excellent monthly profits on our food helped by what we learnt from Profitable Club Catering Solutions about cost management, portion control, pricing strategies and the menu engineering process to maintain great GP targets.

    Our EOFY (June 2026) net profit finished at 17.54% YTD and the best net profit we have achieved in a single month (since commencement) has been 27.7%. Our monthly food costs range between 29% to 32%.

    GM - Queanbeayan Kangaroos Rugby League Football Club

  • Before engaging Profitable Club Catering Solutions our catering operation had an annual loss of $350K. 12 months later, with implementation of all recommendations from the Catering Business Audit, catering had a loss of ‘only’ $25K.

    With advice from Profitable Club Catering Solutions, we were assisted with the appointment of a new Head Chef and in the first 3 months of FY 2025 we had made a net profit of $40K, for the first time in the Club’s recent history.

WE UNDERSTAND KITCHENS.

WE THINK LIKE CLUB MANAGERS.

Good catering isn’t just about good food. It needs to work commercially.

Profitable Club Catering Solutions brings together trade-qualified culinary expertise with decades of hospitality and club management experience.

We understand the realities of running a busy kitchen, but we also understand what Club Managers need from it: financial performance, operational control, accountable teams and an offer that keeps members coming back.

That’s the difference between looking out from the kitchen and looking into it.

The reality is that actual profit from catering comes from a ‘hands-on, working at the coal face’ approach and amid the mass of AI intervention and new-to-market software programs, Profitable Club Catering Solutions remains the human-in-the-loop for better food and bigger profits for your club.

Technology provides information, we provide results.
