What Our Client’s Say
"Boscobel House and Gardens benefited enormously from the research, recommendations, and results-oriented approach of JGL. Brooke Botwinick understands the opportunities and challenges facing museums related to private events and food service. She has provided critical information and processes to help Boscobel develop a private events business that aligns with our mission, brand, organizational values, and revenue needs."
Jennifer Carlquist
Executive Director & Curator, Boscobel House and Gardens"Liberty Science Center recently retained JGL Foodservice Consultants to manage the RFP process for a new foodservice vendor for our on-site cafe and catering services at both LSC and the future SciTech Scity conference center. JGL worked closely with senior leaders at LSC to thoroughly assess the needs of the institution and understand the future model of SciTech Scity, which is still in development. As LSC was eager to move the process forward quickly without foodservice currently on site, JGL made LSC a priority, crafting a detailed RFP, working closely with their contacts in the industry to attract a large number of top quality national and local candidates to bid, holding in-person and virtual walkthroughs during the COVID pandemic, and getting questions answered in a timely manner. JGL’s guidance and expertise were extremely helpful in getting competitive bids for this project. I personally called Tracy on numerous occasions for input and was provided prompt and extremely helpful feedback so I could keep the process moving with LSC’s best interests in mind. When we were originally looking for a foodservice consultant for this RFP process, I spoke to about half a dozen colleagues in the industry, and literally every single one of them had worked with JGL at one point or another. I felt very confident that Tracy and her team know this industry inside and out."
Amanda Cunningham
COO, Liberty Science Center"We recently used JGL to manage an RFP process for café and catering services. We cannot say enough about their professionalism, attention to detail and ability to truly understand the needs of the Foundation. Working through an RFP process during a pandemic could have been incredibly challenging; but JGL’s organized, logical and creative approach made every aspect of the process easy for our team – even the virtual tastings!! We can’t imagine where we would be today if we didn’t work with JGL, they are simply the best in the business!"
Robin Riemenschneider
Manager of Hospitality Services, Ford FoundationJGL understands the unique challenges faced by cultural institutions looking to create destinations while ensuring robust revenue support to the bottom line. Their experience ranges from the kitchen to the counter, and they are not afraid to tell you what you need to know in order to succeed.
Ellery J. Brown
Senior Vice President, Operations, The Kennedy CenterWe could not have been more pleased with the level of professionalism, service, and counsel that we received from JGL. Tracy and her team brought the expert knowledge of restaurants and other food service operations that we lacked. They helped us to understand our institutional needs around food and food service so that we could then select the right partner and craft the right relationship, while fielding a number of curve balls along the way. I highly recommend JGL for its consulting services.
Molly Riddle Wink
Chief Operating Officer, Denver Art Museum"From early engagement as we prepared our business plan through final selection of our food service partner, JGL was a delight to work with. They have broad knowledge of the national marketplace, are creative thinkers, extremely professional and personable and they more than deliver on client expectations."
