THE CHANGE OF TRADE – HOSPITALITY

July 16, 2020

Australian food expert Matt Preston recently discussed how cafes, restaurants and the hospitality industry might be change forever due to the historically tough and high impact times we are experiencing;

Multiple and new entry and exit points to venues
Compulsory customer sign in for trace ability
Delivery is here to stay
Food delivery services to be regulated
Different atmospheres – masked waiting staff though quieter less noisy
Shared plates are less likely
Touch free dining such as cashless and contact free hospitality
Upfront charges for secure income for restaurants
Minimum charges to cover running costs for certain businesses
Shorter menus to control costs and minimise waste
Price rises with plexoglass separators for tables and staff
Set booking times
The return of disposable and plastic materials and cutlery
Change in city demographics – through the absence of foreign students and tourists key to city street trade, people now working from home, increased online shopping and university campuses closed, CBD businesses will be on the downturn.

The hospitality industry will need to reset on all levels and it is more important than ever to safely support your favourite places for pure survival and the future.
