S1 E5: Not in Service

Whether you survived on Uber Eats during the lockdowns or turned to the surplus of frozen goods you panic bought at the start of the pandemic, one thing we all looked forward to was being able to go out for a meal with our friends and family

As we re-open, the message we are receiving is that if you’re fully vaxxed, it’s time to get on the beers and support our hospitality venues, with some governments providing vouchers and cash back schemes to encourage people to come back to our city centres.

While everyone in the hospitality industry is desperate to open their doors and fill their venues with happy diners again, many are facing a new challenge - they can’t find enough staff to serve them.

For this episode, we spoke to Melbourne hospitality owners and operators about the process of reopening and the workforce shortages that are putting their livelihood at risk.

Our guests for this episode include Michael Bacash from Bacash Restaurant, Jessica from the Peppercorn Hospitality Group (Stalactites, Hella Good), and Wes Lambert, CEO of the Restaurant and Catering Australia.
