Nestlé Foodservices North America has been renamed Nestle Professional. Along with the change in name, the unit has been restructured to allow for working closely with operators on operational needs, staff requirements, and customer motivations and preferences, offering advice about how to improve menus, attract more customer traffic and make operations more competitive.

Nestle Professional will be opening a new, state-of-of-the-art Culinary Center later this year in Solon, OH, and recently unveiled a new website (www.nestleprofessional.com) that contains the latest menu trends, menu and recipe ideas and promotions.

“Our evolution to Nestlé Professional reflects our commitment to meet the unique needs of our foodservice customers,” says Communications Manager Kathy Lenkov.

“In addition to offering the trusted brands on which they rely, our goal is to fully understand their business and provide personalized services and solutions.”
