RESTAURANTS Thanks to a diverse multicultural population, Australia offers a wide array of food options in countless food chains located in all major towns and cities of the country. Be it Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, or the Gold Coast, you will find a huge variety of restaurants, offering a unique variety of cuisines to their customers. Migrants from all parts of the world, belonging to different cultural backgrounds and identity, have settled in different cities and towns of Australia and brought along their culinary dishes and influences to the country. Eating out is a great pastime among Australians and when eateries offer such versatile cuisines, this age old pastime becomes even more enjoyable. Australian cooks and chefs are known for their “fusion” cuisine which involves the mixture of European flavours and cooking style, with those found in Asian cuisine. Australia offers a variety of specialty restaurants, boasting cuisines such as Thai, Japanese, Chinese, French, Italian, Indian, Greek, Turkish, and the list goes on. That being said, Australia has its own distinct cuisine which you will only discover once you visit the country’s popular restaurants.

The most popular food that Aussies proudly call their own is “Vegemite”, which is a dark- coloured food spread, made from a mixture of vegetables, yeast extract, and spices. While you may find Europeans and Americans enjoying Nutella, Aussies, on the other hand prefer Vegemite over all other spreads. Australians also have their own distinct type of nut which is known as Macadamia nut. They can be eaten raw or added in dishes like cakes or lamb roasts. The classic Aussie pie is something that other countries have a hard time developing a taste for due to its unusual combination of food ingredients –beef meat, sauces, mushrooms, and cheese. This is one of the most widely-eaten savoury dishes in Australia. Aussie cuisine would be incomplete without mentioning the world’s famous Anzac Biscuits that hold immense historical significance.

ANZAC is short for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, which served the nation in World War I. During that time period, the wives of the army corps would send these baked goodies for their men at war.They are made using a blend of coconut, oats, and golden syrup. You can’t find similar biscuits anywhere else in the world! A dessert that you will find most Australians indulging in is the Pavlova – a scrumptious meringue cake topped with fruits and whipped cream.

Since Australians have a deep love for these classic cuisines, chefs in both small and up-scale restaurants often put a new spin to the classic recipes to cater to people’s love for these dishes.

how Different Cultures Have Impacted Business in Melbourne Being the second most populous urban city of Australia, Melbourne happens to be a multicultural food paradise for its residents and tourists from all over the world. Since it is multicultural at heart, the food scene in Melbourne has adopted a unique range of foods and drinks from several European and Asian countries. Due to its wide range of exclusive cuisines, you can find all kinds of dishes in Melbourne, be it steak, sushi, burgers, salads, pizza, or curries! In Melbourne, you will come across a diverse food industry that will surely remind you of other rich cultures.

A prime example of what we mean is the popular café culture in Australia that is reminiscent of Europe. Historians have pointed out that it wasn’t until the 1830s that cafes opened up in Australia, especially Melbourne, by European immigrants. Then during the later 1900s, Italian immigrants showed the city suburbs how they brew a steamy cup of coffee, with a key focus on creating the yummiest “crema”. Fast forward to today, cafés have become an integral part of Melbourne’s own food culture. With tons of amazing cafes including Tall Timber, Fourth Chapter, Higher Ground, Journeyman, etc., it is nearly impossible to point out that this food trend was adopted and not inherited by Australians.

How Have Other Cultures Impacted the Food Scene in Melbourne?

vnm magazine 06

In addition to café culture, Melbourne also boasts another food trend of another culture that is China’s bubble tea, also known as pearl milk tea. While this unique tea originated in Taiwan, the Chinese community has popularised it in Melbourne to the extent that it has become a much-loved drink of Aussies. The bubble tea is not just an Asian trend anymore; as with the introduction of milk tea in Melbourne, the delightful milk tea craze has taken the consumer world by storm. Raclette is another food trend that has paved its way into the food streets and restaurants of Melbourne and is a sole reason behind food lovers popping into eateries more than ever before. In this food trend, the waiter basically scrapes off a heavy layer of melted cheese over the customer’s food to make it more enticing and delicious. The Raclette trend first kicked off in the European world, specifically in Switzerland. But it has moved beyond its originating country and has been heartily welcomed and loved by cheese lovers in Melbourne.

Filled pastries, invented by French, are also having a moment in Melbourne as they have become a new obsession of all true foodies. You can find these mouth-watering delights at many Aussie bakeries like Zumbo, Bistro Morgan, Shortstop Coffee & Donuts, and Tivoli Road Bakery, etc. Whether it is European or Asian culture, their impact on Melbourne’s food culture has been phenomenally enriching and diversifying.

HOW MANY VISA BUYERS ARE CHOOSING TO INVEST IN HOSPITALITY AND WHY? Australia’s hospitality scene is developing at lightning speed, with immigrants from all over the world investing in the hospitality sector. The question that arises is, why are immigrants favouring the hospitality sector over other kinds of businesses in Australia?

First of all, it should be noted that Australia enjoys a thriving foodie culture, boasting different cuisines from all over the world. The food industry, to be specific, is booming.

Cities like Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne promote hospitality sectors, offering immigrants a way to make easy money by finding jobs as a waiter/waitress, a chef/ cook, a kitchen hand, a sandwich hand, a barista, bartender, and concierge. With over 85,000 places to eat, immigrants find it easy to get a job in pubs, restaurants, and hotels. Immigrants that come from faraway lands often find it hard to get jobs in private or public companies. However, in the hospitality sector, visa holders may not find it difficult to get a hospitality job as it is easily available. Interested candidates have to undergo training courses and get an RSA certificate to be considered for a job in this sector. Once the candidate fulfills all the requirements, they may get a wellpaid job in hotels and restaurants. The good pay, amenities and brighter prospects are alluring enough for a visa buyer to consider the investment in a hospitality business.

Over time Australia has seen a vast expansion in hospitality businesses due to a plethora of restaurants and hotels opening their doors to the public over the last few decades.

With rising trends of veganism, cafĂŠ culture, food takeaways and drive through, the hospitality businesses in Australia are growing on a massive scale. All these trends are a testament to the people that have put in a lot of time, money, and effort in developing the hospitality sector of Australia. And most of the investors include immigrants. Hundreds and thousands of these people are flocking to Australia to work and invest in the hospitality sector due to its thriving and expanding nature. It has become a lot easier for immigrants to consider investing and working in hospitality businesses as the Federal Government of Australia has opened doors for them to work permanently in the country.

Australia also happens to be a major tourist destination with around 8.8 million people visiting the country each year. The top countries from where people come to Australia are China, the United States, the U.K, Japan, New Zealand, and India. This statistic has increased the hospitality value of Australia, demanding more investment so that it can better serve the country’s locals and tourists. Since Australia wholeheartedly promotes food diversity, it makes sense why people belonging to different cultures find it easy when it comes to the investment in the hospitality business of Australia.

TOP RESTAURANT PREFERENCE WHICH FLAVOURS ARE PREFERRED BY AUSTRALIANS IN MELBOURNE?

Melbourne being the hub of unique and versatile cuisines allows both its residents and visitors to enjoy dishes native to Europe, China, and India. With a broad range of international cuisines, many wonder what flavours are loved and eaten the most by Australians in Melbourne. A visit to a restaurant in Melbourne will discover all kinds of cuisines that are ordered by customers. But recent stats show that 70% of the population prefers Chinese cuisines and 51% prefer Indian food while 36% is into Greek cuisine. The second most popular cuisine after Chinese that you will find in the restaurants of Melbourne is Italian and then Thai. Australians in Melbourne also enjoy Lebanese, French, Mexican, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Melbourne is famous for Asian cuisines with hundreds of Asian restaurants spread all over the city. According to Roy Morgan Research, Chinese food is favoured by 70% of people in Melbourne which is why restaurateurs prefer to incorporate it into their menu. Did you know that approximately 31% of Melbourne’s population is inhabited by the Chinese? Visit any Melbourne Chinese restaurant, and you will get to enjoy world-class dumplings, delectable prawns, and other seafood dishes. Some of the best restaurants that boast Chinese food include Super Inn, Rose Garden, Flower Drum, Shark Fin Inn and many more. The variety of Chinese flavours found in these restaurants is extraordinary, using fresh Australian seafood and produce. Besides Chinese, the Indian flavours thrive in Melbourne. Indian restaurants in Melbourne take pride in cooking a variety of Indian dishes such as Butter Chicken, Dal Makhani, dosa, and street food items like chaat, papdi, and samosa. One of the most popular Indian restaurants in Melbourne is Babu Ji which offers a variety of popular and classic Indian dishes. Besides the main dishes, the restaurant also features Indian desserts like kulfi and Gulaab Jamun. Tantra Food restaurant is another great restaurant in Melbourne that delivers authentic Indian food. The third most-loved flavour in Melbourne is Greek.

People of Greece migrated to Australia after World War II and introduced their traditional food to this city. Restaurants in Melbourne serve authentic Greek cuisines with dishes like souvlaki, taramasalata, saganaki, moussaka, loukoumades, and spanakopita. These dishes incorporate seasonal vegetables, slow-cooked meat, and scrumptious seafood. Some of the hotspots where you can make the most of Greek food is Hella Good, ENA Greek Street Food, Jimmy Grants, Gazi, and the Press Club. Oakleigh is a Melbourne suburb where one can find the best street food and cafĂŠ culture favoured by the Greek community and all lovers of Greek cuisine. Restaurants in Australia promote a collision of cultures by infusing a wide variety of food from different parts of the world especially China, India, Italy and Greece..

Uber Craze - How Impacted Businesse

Currently, one of the biggest restaurant trends in the world is (hands down) Uber Eats.

If you are new to this buzzword, then let us inform you that it’s more than just a cool trend and has impacted restaurants who have partnered with them.

Uber Eats is basically a spinoff of the transportation app – Uber in which a customer orders a transportation vehicle to pick up and drop off to their booked destination. Similarly, by using Uber Eats, customers place their food order by selecting one of the hundreds of restaurants via their mobile phones and get food delivered right to their home. Once the food is ordered, the customers can keep a track record of their order from its prep work to delivery status. Many restaurants chose to work with Uber Eats to help make their deliveries faster and to ease the burden of having to add delivery staff to their business. While UberEats first tested this service in Los Angeles in 2014, it has grown and expanded over multiple countries around the world. Its impact has been witnessed by many restaurants in different parts of the world with positive and negative effects.

While it is too early to give a final verdict on the full effect of Uber Eats, restaurants have had to make some adjustments. In 2017, restaurants that partnered with Uber Eats had to give up 35% of the cost of every order that was made through their portal to the app. Uber Eats were called upon to lower their rising delivery fee which affected the overall profits made by restaurants. Because of this, restaurants had to downsize their restaurant menus to minimise their loss. This tactic was a deliberate way to encourage customers to come and visit the restaurant in person, look over more items on their menu, and eat it there or get it packed and enjoy it elsewhere. One such example is the Auckland restaurant Sushi which had to limit their menu on the Uber Eats app to prevent losing money on dishes. The worst aspect is that restaurants are not allowed to make changes to the prices that are mentioned in the Uber Eats app which can be very frustrating for business owners. While this is the most notable drawback of getting food delivered via a third party delivery system, many restaurants have talked about some of its positive effects as well.

Restaurants in Melbourne, Australia have incurred a net benefit from this app as now they don’t have to worry about food delivery at all and the app delivers the food faster than any in-house delivery man. The app has also helped in promoting these restaurants and increasing their profit margin. It is safe to say that like any other service in the world, Uber Eats has proven to have both positive and negative effects on restaurants. It’s going to be really interesting to see how this industry evolves and what new changes will come about in the future!

THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE WORLD CLASS SERVICE, QUALITY & STYLE ADD UP TO LUXURY

S

tarting a business can be a daunting challenge – and experienced Victorian jeweller Glenn Curtis should know.

‘We’ve certainly made some beautiful things, says Glenn. ‘It’s something we all enjoy. There are days when it doesn’t seem like work at all.’

He’s built a successful business from the ground up – and it’s a story worth reading about. Some buy a franchise or an existing business while others like Glenn build their business over time, riding the inevitable highs and lows.

‘One of the most important keys to a successful business is service’ says Glenn, ‘We strive for excellence in every contact – answering an email, seeing a client to discuss their jewellery, or dealing with other industry professionals. It’s vital to help build opportunities and relationships.’

As Glenn himself points out – ‘there’s no right or wrong way – follow your instinct and be prepared to listen to and take advice. Treat every offer or idea with a healthy dose of reality, even cynicism and you’ll soon work out what feels right for you.’

World class quality in craftsmanship has led Curtis to become a world class brand, winning a coveted Robb Report Magazine ‘Best of the Best’ Award helped cement a reputation early on.

In addition, ‘SuperYachts’ compared Curtis to global brand Cartier in terms of being ‘perhaps the world’s finest pens’ – accolades that help drive Curtis on to greater things.

With their own studio and skilled team they create beautiful Australian made diamond jewellery, luxury pens and hand crafted watches in house, so Curtis certainly has luxury covered.

They also create bespoke and one of a kind pieces for individual clients and love to create precious jewellery for any occasion. You can see the tremendous variety of their work at their website at curtisaustralia.com

It was exactly this attention to service that led Curtis to form a relationship with legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus.

A friend of Jack’s had bought a Curtis pen (the brand makes some stunning solid silver ones) and sent it back for a minor adjustment from America.

Exceptional Curtis customer service led to an invitation to lunch privately with Nicklaus himself at the exclusive Bear’s Club in Florida.

to your own particular business.

‘Always try to innovate – to stand out from the competition. It might be a simple offer or idea – just give it some thought first and give it a try. For example, we have clients visit our studio for a demonstration and tour – it helps them understand a little about how we make their jewellery and it’s something they love to see’ At the core of this remarkable brand are straightforward values – the highest standards of craftsmanship coupled with the very best in service. Curtis can help you with your jewellery too – feel free to contact Glenn and start a conversation – he’d really love to hear from you.

To learn more about Curtis Australia and see their remarkable work, or to contact Glenn Curtis, visit curtisaustralia.com

Over the course of that lunch, the idea for a range of commemorative, limited edition pens began to form, beginning a very special relationship between Jack and Curtis. It just goes to show how a simple act of quality service can have unexpected and valuable consequences. Building a reputation for superb quality has also helped Curtis create gifts for the Parliament of Australia and the Office of the Governor of Victoria.

Innovation is another facet to Glenn’s philosophy – whether in product or marketing, or just practices that relate Gents ‘Myst’ watch in yellow & white gold, set with brilliant white diamonds
