Food & Beverage Management

As experts in both creative menu planning and guarantee management, The Charles Group works to design unique food and beverage selections that will appeal to the various tastes of attendees and still fall well within the designated budget. Our menus often reflect the flavor of the locale as well as the goals of our clients, e.g. sustainability, theme, etc. We often find that clients “leave money on the table” by not closely monitoring guarantees. We develop and review the historical patterns of participation at past food and beverage functions to ensure guarantees closely align with projected attendance. Our success at managing guarantees has resulted in our clients experiencing considerable savings for their program budgets.
