Ooh. I know the person vacating that role, awesome guy and worth every penny. It’s unfortunate that it’s being compared to other museum roles which are subject to an entirely different set of market forces. I imagine places like the Tate make a very significant portion of their revenue from catering, possibly the largest part. Tate have thrown the kitchen sink at their coffee service including roasting their own on site and taking an activist type role in ethical trading. I’m sure their coffee revenue runs easily into 7 figures and they have to offer a competitive salary to attract someone skilled and competent enough to manage that.
