Museum cafes
A trip to a museum, gallery or heritage site isn't complete these days without a quick pit stop in the cafe. But catering isn't a pot of gold and it's easy for museums to get it wrong.
This issue of Museum Practice looks at what makes a successful museum cafe, from pricing and cost control to understanding the audience. There are also articles on running a cafe in-house versus using an external caterer, and how to find a caterer that fits within an organisation's wider goals and aspsirations.
Meanwhile, Sophie Serraris explains how museums can make their cafe more family-friendly and Jade-Lauren Cawthray makes the case for museums reducing food waste.
There are also a selection of Your Case Studies submitted by Museum Practice readers.
