Consistent quality
Commenting on the role Summit plays in the smooth operation of correctional facilities, Roshon continues:“ Our work is essential, and we take that responsibility very seriously. When we do our job well, we help facilities run better and become better places to live and work. We live our mission by delivering reliable service, treating people with dignity, and helping facilities run safe and smooth daily operations. This is evident in our standards; we provide consistent meals, responsive service, strong training, and a culture of respect and accountability.”
However, Summit must carefully balance quality and cost.“ We start with disciplined forecasting, standardized menus, and tight inventory controls, then continuously improve through waste reduction and process efficiency,” Roshon explains.“ The goal is simple: deliver consistent quality and nutrition at the best possible cost without compromising safety or service.
“ Also, technology really helps us to operate more precisely in terms of forecasting, inventory management, ordering, reporting, and quality controls,” he adds.“ The result is better visibility, faster decision making, and strong consistency across facilities. We’ re constantly looking for areas of improvement, and we’ re currently focused on operational standardization, process improvement, and targeted investments that strengthen quality, consistency, and efficiency. Wherever we’ re investing, the objective is the same: better outcomes for our clients and better support for our teams.”
