Education
Keeping students fed, focused and flying
From hospitals to schools, stadiums to cafés, Ovation works across a remarkable range of spaces – each with its own rhythm, needs, and character.
We tailor our approach to every setting, building trusted partnerships with people who value hospitality as much as we do. Some venues run at full tilt, others move at a slower, steadier pace – but our food and service always reflect the same care, generosity, and quiet excellence.

... like it’s always been there, quietly making everything run better.
We take pride in shaping services that reflect the specific needs, culture, and cadence of each organisation we work with. We listen carefully. We plan precisely. And we deliver with care, consistency, and respect for the people at the heart of every place.
Whether it’s a school, a stadium, a hospital or a corporate HQ, we take the time to understand what makes your place tick. Then we craft a proposal that fits – not just your brief, but your culture, your calendar, and your people.
If that sounds like your kind of partnership, get in touch with our Business Development Executive, John Rippingham. He’s got a good ear, a sharp pen – and most definitely a flat white with your name on it.
If you’re after a hospitality partner who listens, delivers, and makes life easier - let’s talk. I’d love to hear what matters to your place. When it’s done well, hospitality just works - quietly, smoothly, and exactly as it should.

From the great Kiwi breakfast to Sunday roasts, Ovation delivers warm, reliable hospitality to New Zealand’s independent schools.
No launch party. No song and dance. Just 1,250 staff and a clear idea of what good hospitality looks like.
Ovation’s new initiative aims to bring the taste, memory and mana of Māori and Pasifika dishes to hospital kitchens across New Zealand.
