Helping businesses to become pro-friendly

White Hutchinson is one of the (very) few design consultancies in the U.S. that specialises in helping businesses become pro-family.

As a consultancy, White Hutchinson’s services range from on-site family friendly audit of the outlet/location, planning family-friendly theme entertainment/play areas, to training programs for service staff (by a child development expert).

Pro-family consulting services

Although most leisure, restaurant and entertainment destinations rely on the family market for substantial portion of their businesses, most facilities often fail to be truly pro-family. White Hutchinson offers “Family Friendly” audits. A report will be prepared with recommendations on how to improve the facility’s appeal to families.
