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.

Food & Hospitality Restaurant Openings ...

Although 2020 will be remembered in Australians (and the world) for all the wrong reasons, hospitality operators continued to push the boundaries, open new concepts providing a welcome haven for Australia’s at large with new experiences that raised our spirits and reminded us that life, food and hospitality will not only survive but thrive.

There are stand out restaurants and bars that have opened across Australia with new and enticing food and beverage as well those who have traded through the ups and downs continuing to deliver excellent food and service.

Here we highlight a few of the many new ones (and can’t wait to try) and share a recent food experience at Ish in Melbourne.

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.

Food Beverage Strategy - Future Focused Part 2

Building great places and creating exceptional experiences for your 'Non-Online' purchases

In part one, I wrote about how flexibility must be the foundation from which to develop future-focused food and beverage strategies (F&B Strategy). Insights from our projects around the world confirm time and time again, flexibility is the key to future planning. Whilst the pandemic has driven substantial growth in on-line purchases; future spending on food and hospitality will ALWAYS be about the built environment and its uniqueness as a lifestyle destination. New Zealand’s post-pandemic immediate return to eating out and drinking in bars re-confirms customers still demand a unique physical restaurant or bar especially at malls that show intrinsic value as beautiful and hygienic socialising places.

Food & Design: A Partnership For Success

Future Food, as specialist food advisors to architects and designers, have long promoted the idea that good food and good design are intertwined in a harmonious relationship that provides an essential platform for success in any food & hospitality business. Now more than ever as hospitality pivots due to unpredictable and pervasive external factors, design and food will need to evolve to create experiences that adapt to meet the ‘new’ needs of customers and ensure satisfaction is maintained in order to retain as many customers as possible in the coming months and years.

The Australian Craft Beverage Movement – Reshaping the F&B Landscape

The craft beverage movement has been building significant momentum over the past 10 years and has subsequently reshaped the liquor industry as we know it. With craft brewing, small scale local distilleries and small batch wine production capturing greater market share year on year, we are seeing a shift in the market towards quality over quantity and experiential over mainstream.

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
