Hero to the Needy wins AwardPosted by: Neil Willis Ronni Kahn and her OzHarvest charity takes spare food from restaurants and gives it to the needy, preparing 110,000 meals a month. She believes that good quality restaurant food should not be wasted while hungry people starve. So she did something about it. Six years later, Ms Kahn has been awarded Australia's Local Hero for 2010. The OzHarvest charity currently helps 163 charities in Sydney, Canberra and Wollongong. But now she has another ambition - to help the hungry in every Australian city. "It's unconscionable that that food should not go to good hungry mouths," the Sydney woman told reporters in Canberra. "There is food going to waste in every major city, every single day and there are people who are going hungry and people who could benefit from this." To make her program work, Ms Kahn's legal team lobbied NSW, the ACT, Queensland and South Australia to change their laws so food could be given away without fear of liability. She is hoping a change in other state laws will enable her program to go national. Congratulations Ronni and well done.

If "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" as said by Charles Caleb Colton then I guess I should feel flattered. Crown Commercial Group continue to use our business name, Sydney Commercial Kitchens, in their online marketing and press releases.
On their press release at articleblast.com titled "Famous Sydney Commercial Kitchens" they espouse 'Sydney Commercial Kitchens are a booming business and in such a competitive market restaurants need to differentiate themselves.' I have to agree with them. In fact Sydney Commercial Kitchens is a booming business and I guess this is why people try to capitalise on the success of my business name, Sydney Commercial Kitchens and the great rankings on Google that our website http://www.sydneycommercialkitchens.com.au achieves. Surely, if restaurants need to differentiate themselves then catering equipment supply companies probably need to as well. I mean it make sense doesn't it! There are so many great ways to market yourself these days online that it is probably more effort to imitate than to establish your own viable marketing plan. Sydney Commercial Kitchens is the premier website for catering equipment in Australia and the hospitality industry. We supply catering equipment to restaurants, clubs, cafes, general business and the hospitality industry. Click here http://www.sydneycommercialkitchens.com.au to visit our website now.

You are about to discover the secrets to running a successful restaurant and cafe whether you already own one whether you are planning to open one whether you are new to the hospitality industry or an old hand this information applies to YOU.
The food industry is a challenging combination of manufacturing and retail. It requires careful management, control of food and perishables, production, people, hygiene and customers.
Very few businesses include all of these variables as significant elements of success or failure.
You must understand that your restaurant or cafe is also a business. The skills needed to run a successful business are very different from those required to manage a successful restaurant.
Your restaurant or cafe cannot hope to succeed without your developing business skills in these three key areas: operational; financial and marketing.
Developing and improving your people skills will also impact dramatically on the success of your restaurant or cafe.
The ability to employ good staff is not as important as the ability to keep them. When staff feel good about working for you, that will greatly improve their attitude and the way they approach your customers.
From the very beginning it is important to remember that in business you always have two sets of customers. The first set is the customer that buys your products on a daily basis, and the second set is the customer who will eventually buy your business. Everything you do in your business should ultimately be geared to both sets of customers.
Research shows that while 90% of independent restaurants and cafes fail, over 90% of franchised restaurants are successful.
Given those percentages, doesn't it make sense that you would want to operate your business more like a franchise than an independent restaurant or cafee.
So, why are the failure rates for independent restaurants dramatically higher than those of franchise operations?
And the answer is really quite simple....
