Client Testimonials:

Don't take my word for it...                      listen to what our customers say:

Any workshops or study guides such as Linda's would be an asset to the industry as there was always a need for training. "I have worked in the industry since back in 1973 and even after all these years, I am still learning", he said. "I take courses myself from time to time."
Tony Percuoco - Gold Coast Restaurant and Caterers Association Chairman 2002

"I've increased my overall profit since putting into action the tips I learnt from Linda. An absolute must for anyone who would like to learn and know anything about entering the hospitality business. I was new to operating a cafe business. I had experience as a chef but no hospitality management and marketing skills. Linda is so enthusiastic and passionate about helping you to run a successful business. Lots of hands-on knowledge. Thanks Linda."
Ryan Rothwell - Ryan's Cafe, Queensland

"Thanks Linda. My business has doubled in the last month, thanks to lots of tips on how to improve customer service. Thoroughly enjoyed your workshops and study guides. Lots of valuable information on customer service. My staff and I often refer back to the study guides as they are a constant reminder on how to get customers coming in the door and improve customer sales."
Fay Marsden - The Courtyard Cafe, NSW

"It was great to get a perspective from a third party. The workshop study guide is easy to follow and certainly boosted my confidence. Linda's extremely knowledgeable and helpful - I look forward to either attending more workshops or purchasing more study guides in the future."
Amit Madan - Bella Amici Italian Restaurant, Queensland

"Linda is an excellent training facilitator - extremely efficient, very competent, and always professional in her attitude. Her enthusiasm, wealth of experience and a most happy disposition have a wonderful and positive effect on her students."
Siggy Nowak - Manager, Internet & Business Training Centre, Queensland

“I thought I would pass on some great feedback we recently had about your classes.  A student who recently completed your program rang to ask about enrolling in further classes. She mentioned how much she had enjoyed your classes, how interesting you made things and also the fact that you covered everything so thoroughly.  Congratulations on your efforts and keep up the good work”.
Tracey Johnson - Manager, The Better Business Centre, Queensland

Many thanks indeed for providing such a delicious lunch (and so prompt) on an otherwise totally successful day.  It was a delightful combination of lunch and a garden and it was all beautifully timed”.
Jenny Tidey - Tourist Promotions Officer, Mudgee Shire Tourist Information Centre, NSW

“It is indeed a pleasure being able to pass on a recommendation for Linda Bamford of A La Carte Caterers.  Linda’s catering service was often called upon not only by my organization, but also by many of my clients over the past three years.  There was a regular call for her boardroom luncheons which were always well presented and on the occasions of special functions we could always rely on Linda and her team to come up with something spectacular.  Linda provided a service that coordinated not only food and beverage, but items such as decorations, flowers, music, etc.  I have no hesitation in recommending Linda’s services for any catering requirements”.
B Summers - Owner, Eagleview Serviced Offices, Queensland

“I have known Linda Bamford in her capacity as Functions Manager for 10 years.  It is during this time she has shown her understanding of food and beverage to be of the highest order.  Her co-operation and her attention to detail in the planning and organization of functions was shown to be beyond reproach”
Murray Breen - Assistant House Manager, Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, NSW
