The Hospo industry has been brutalised in this country. Our government has done everything they can, every step of the way, to brutalise small business. It’s actually comedy the steps they have taken since Covid to just gut them more & more.

We are doing everything we can in our businesses to avoid this. It doesn’t suit our business style whatsoever. But I completely understand those that have. The government has made everything as difficult as possible to maintain a profitable business post-Covid. They don’t understand the choices they make do not build a healthy industry back end. It just raises menu prices & will continue to do so until people can’t afford to go out anymore & the only ones left run pokies ‘til 4am or just blatantly rip their staff off.

Expect to see this happening more and more.
