Tricon was appointed to conduct a market feasibility study to establish the potential for hospitality, conference and banqueting facilities. The project involved research into the current and future market trends within the area, formulation of the optimum mix of type and size for new spaces and financial projections for the use of the facilities as multi-functional space.

Tricon was initially appointed to develop a foodservice strategy for the proposed new stadium. This included financial revenue modelling and initial spatial and logistics planning. We were subsequently employed to work as part of the design team to prepare scheme design for planning submissions. We developed a business plan to identify the potential revenue the catering outlets could generate.

Tricon assisted with developing the foodservice and contracting strategies including menu structure, service delivery and contracting of the services.
