Stadium Catering is something we live and breathe. We offer a perspective that other contract catering companies do not, a grounding in UK stadiums. To be a success in the world of stadia, fan engagement and and value have to be core values. The team at The Difference all love being at stadiums, working on the world's biggest sporting events and creating special experiences for fans in hospitality or the stands..
Consulting closely alongside local fan groups and club partners, creates a different kind of match day experience, a special one that will be remembered for all the right reasons.
We aim to redefine hospitality by creating unique experiences, fostering connections, and “making a difference” - one guest, one moment at a time.
We champion local suppliers, embrace uniqueness, and prioritise community connections to craft exceptional hospitality experiences.
Match day Hospitality is one of the keys tools used by a club to generate revenue and add to any fans experience. Our stadium catering and culinary team create not just experiences but memorable and delicious plates for all of our guests.
At The Difference we understand that that clubs need to offer many different packages and offerings and cater for that. We can create so many different, bespoke packages for every game at your venue, through our consulting programme.
Concourse or retail Stadium catering is the standard by which your venue is measured. The drinks on offer the quality of the pie or the price of a hotdog can add to the experience of any home or away fans day.
Speed of service is essential to public catering, trying to offer too much and not getting the set up correct can cost valuable time and elongate any transaction time. This will ultimately end in a reduction of transactions and a lower spend per head.
Menu planning can make or break your ability to serve as many people as possible during the short service times of a sports venue. Whether it is a simple hand held item such as a pie or a choice item that is uniquely prepared per order, we look to create experiences taken from the high street and delivered on your concourse.
By creating flexible spaces in your venue and understanding the needs of customers, your venue can be turned into a revenue generating machine, Instead of 20+ match days doing stadium catering and hospitality you could open 365 days per year.
Event planning needs to be done creatively and asking the client what they would like on the day. As a caterer and event planners we work with clients and suppliers to deliver magical, memorable occasions.
We can train on-site sales teams to imagine the uses of rooms and how best to use them, thus wanting clients to book again and again.
