What our customers say
The proof isn't just in the pudding.
See what our customers and partners say about us.
“After the changeover day, the support from apetito then continued. They didn't just go home, but came back the next day. It was really difficult, but without that support it wouldn't have happened, or it wouldn't have been as smooth. Even now, the support that we receive, wasn't there before. The support is really high up in terms of what we need, and what keeps us moving forward - whether it's improving productivity, or training in plate presentation.”
Julie Griffiths
Catering Manager, Salford Royal Hospital
“Our results show us that patient satisfaction is well up above 90%. It is very important that we have a very strong and reliable relationship with apetito around the supply of patient meals. I would recommend apetito based on our experience here at this organisation. We are collaborative partners working to improve the patient experience.”
Anne Byrne
Facilities Manager, Hillingdon Hospital
“The transition was amazing. From a planning perspective, apetito was involved from day one - providing information for our business case, supporting us with food tasting sessions, coming to site at the drop of a hat when we had any issues or questions on how the system would work operationally - the apetito team have been magnificent in providing that support. I have never seen a smoother mobilisation.”
