Meijer Gardens Elevates Guest Experience with Edikio Guest

Consistent, Professional Signage Transforms Food and Beverage Displays
Meijer Gardens Culinary Arts & Events is the in-house caterer at Meijer Gardens with a reputation for unparalleled taste, service and style. The organization required a buffet labeling solution that would attain the same level of presentation expected by staff and guests alike.
Challenge
Before implementing Edikio Guest, Meijer Gardens faced significant challenges with their food and beverage signage. Each event required bespoke signs, leading to inconsistent and unprofessional appearances. The signs were printed on cardstock, hand-cut, and varied in size, which detracted from the overall presentation.
“Our goal when selecting a solution for our buffet and food displays was to elevate the guest experience with professional, informative, consistent signage,” said John VanderHaagen, Director of Communications. “We also wanted to develop a reusable “library” of signs that staff could easily access for different events to improve efficiency.”
Solution
Since adopting Edikio Guest, Meijer Gardens has seen a marked improvement in the consistency and professionalism of their signage. The signs are now uniform in size and design, replacing the old cardstock versions that varied widely. This has significantly elevated the look of their buffets and food displays.
“Edikio Guest has elevated the appearance of our buffets and food displays to meet our high aesthetic standards,” said VanderHaagen. “It has also streamlined our catering team’s preparation process, saving us time and ensuring a consistent, professional look every time.”
With the ability to reuse buffet and appetizer displays, staff can quickly access the “library” of signs, reducing last-minute scrambles and errors. This efficiency allows staff to focus more on event preparation and guest interaction.
Recently, a second printer was purchased for the on-site café to label pastries and grab-and-go snacks. Guests have praised the clarity of the labels, appreciating the inclusion of dietary and allergen information. The easy-to-read signs blend seamlessly with the displays, enhancing the overall guest experience.
