employee training methods

Over the last decade, CCF&B has continually modernized and refined our training materials. This allows us to offer our clients cutting edge programs. Using custom digital photography and the information gathered in the Recipe Documentation process, CCF&B can create an array of innovative tools for your front of the house staff or back!

Our training products are designed to deliver maximum results with minimal effort.  

recipe / food production / plating manuals

That’s it! The presentation will automatically play showing your menu content in full screen glory!
