Struggling to find great holding management?

At Dans La Cuisine, we help hospitality businesses across the UK optimise their holding processes — so you deliver top-quality food, drink and service, boost efficiency, and protect your reputation.

Why Holding Management Matters

Holding management is more than just keeping the business open. In a busy hospitality environment, it’s essential for:

  • Consistent food and drink quality: Build a reputation for only the best.

  • Food safety: Meeting EHO requirements and maintaining your 5-star food hygiene rating.

  • Operational efficiency: Reducing service times and stress for your team.

  • Customer satisfaction: Serving every plate at its best, every time.


Too often, businesses overlook this critical area—leading to wasted food and drink, unhappy customers, and even failed inspections.

The Dans La Cuisine Approach

With over 30 years’ experience as chef, owner, regional manager, and commercial kitchen consultant, we have seen the impact of poor holding management first-hand. That’s why Dans La Cuisine offers a comprehensive, tailored approach for every client:


1. Expert Staff Training

Even the best business won't serve if the staff aren't trained. We provide:

  • Hands-on training for chefs, servers, and managers

  • Guidance on great service, best practices, and compliance

  • Ongoing support to ensure consistency and confidence across your team

2. Workflow Optimisation

Holding management is about more than keeping the doors open—it’s about process. Dans La Cuisine helps you:

  • Analyse and improve business flow

  • Develop systems for peak periods and menu changes

  • Reduce bottlenecks and speed up service
