May Consulting is a specialist in developing creative solutions for projects where food service is a critical element of the business mix. Extensive experience has been gained working with venues from a wide range of sectors and projects from individual restaurants and cafés to major developments. May Consulting takes a holistic approach, which involves consulting from project conceptualisation through to fit-out, appointment of a caterer and opening. Consulting advice and solutions are based on extensive industry and business experience. May Consulting has considerable experience consulting to the cultural and tourism sectors with a focus on tender strategy and management, retail strategy and operational feasibility.

Multifaceted single contractor catering contracts have dominated service delivery over the past decade. It is May Consulting’s belief that a collaborative approach between venue and caterer will add value to the visitor’s experience. This includes aligning menus, pricing philosophy and the range of catering services. Recent tenders for Zoos Victoria, the Arts Centre, Melbourne and City of Melbourne Town Hall have demonstrated the commercial success of this approach for both the venue and caterer. In each instance, the appointed caterer has won Venue Caterer of the Year in its first contract year.

May Consulting incorporates the highly successful consultancy Bibra & May Food Service Solutions. Established in 1993, Bibra &  May  has consulted to  major cultural and retail projects in Melbourne ’s CBD, which have helped shape the way Melbournians relate to their city and its food culture.
