Australia’s food and beverage operators have been striving to return their businesses to some degree of normality in order to drive sales, stabilise costs and prepare themselves for the imminent financial obstacle of Job keeper payments ceasing in three weeks’ time. It is clear from the ABS that the future is bright for food and beverage operations, however, operators need to be creative, flexible and innovative in order to comply with the remaining Covdid-19 restrictions around social distancing and the control in patron numbers in any one enclosed space.

Melbourne vs Sydney - What makes a ‘Sydney’ ...

In the course of our work, we have noticed that there are some venues that just say ‘Sydney’. We also know that over the years, Sydney restaurateurs haven’t lit up the world in Melbourne (and vice versa, we might add). All of which got us thinking about why this is so: What is it about the market that creates a ‘Sydney’ venue?

Here we highlight a few of the differences between the Melbourne and Sydney food scene.

Trends for 2022: Re-engaging with Food in a ...

2021 is going to be, in the parlance of your local footy team, a rebuilding year. So much damage has been done to retail in general and hospitality in particular this year that 2021 is going to be a year to heal, slowly getting back on public transport and getting settled into the Next Normal.

2022, then, is shaping up as a really interesting year. The food operators that survived the pandemic, and especially those that opened during it, are battle-hardened and realistic: An excellent foundation on which to rebuild Food and Hospitality. With the gradual renaissance of the CBD and face-to-face interactions, there is ample scope to start contemplating how to harness and encourage demand.

Sure, this city has great architecture, museums and sports venues. But at its heart, Chicago is a food town. This is evident in the priority that good eating takes no matter the occasion. It is well known that locals will wait in a line (rain or shine) that snakes around the corner for dolled-up doughnuts at Doughnut Vault.

There is something so rewarding in knowing that you are being served handcrafted food using fresh, local and seasonal produce, and something equally as gratifying in knowing that you could potentially burn off all of those calories hidden in the delectable butter-laden house made croissants, as you walk and explore the many attractions dotted around the historical town. www.harvestbendigo.com.au
