Whether this is your first or fifth year in business, I recommend doing a quick audit to ensure you’re taking into consideration where you’re at right now.

cockroaches, and ensure you have adequate fans and shaded areas.

Update your cold drinks menu to include plenty of icy frappes, affogatos and juices. Display canned cold drinks in visible areas for grab and go customers, and if you sell alcohol make sure your team are offering a wine or beer over lunch, rather than coffee. Buy an extra blender jug if needed.

three Avoid breakdowns by servicing your valuable equipment like cool room, coffee machine, grinders, fridge and air conditioners.

six Create an abbreviated menu for the public holidays or peak days that are coming up so that you minimise pressure on your kitchen and ensure a great customer experience.

There can be so much pressure placed on us at Xmas time through forces outside of our control.

Prepare for a sensory overload! [SWEETSTOCK LAUNCHES IN MELBOURNE 2020]

Sweetstock is a totally new food and music festival experience that will put you on the sugar high of your life! In its inaugural year, Sweetstock will launch in Melbourne on the 28th-29th March 2020, filled with cake battles, dessert challenges, decadent food trucks and special guest Duff Goldman from Charm City Cakes (USA). Along with street performers and circus acts, there is also an awesome music line-up to dance into the neon filled night. Headlining the festival will be dance duo Sneaky Sound System, with upbeat electronic artist Alice Ivy, aptly named indie band Jawbreakers and the crazy Melbourne pop stars Approachable Members Of Your Local Community. More acts to be announced. And don’t think the weekend is all sweetness and love, the competition is fierce in this festival ground, with the SBS Food Australian Cake Battle showcasing some of Australia’s best bakers live on stage in a 60 minute battle, alongside the Australian Dessert Championship for anyone to enter. Teams of three, from home cooks to professionals will challenge each other in various categories, including Cupcake, Cheesecake, Pavlova, Pie, Tart and Chef’s Choice. Each competition will win a delicious $5,000.00. If you want to learn for the best then get in quick to register for the masterclass with America’s most sought after cake makers, Duff Goldman. Renowned for his crazy over the top masterpieces, he will be hosting a one off masterclass on the Friday, and will be appearing throughout the festival over the weekend. For those who love to eat rather than bake, there is a competition for you too! Enter the Donut Throwdown to pop as many donuts into your belly within 3 minutes to win a cheeky $2,000.00. Easy! Is that too much sugary action to pack into two days you may ask? Absolutely not. As well as that there are show-bags, a sweet expo, live art, retro car show, free kids rides and thankfully for the parents there’s bubbly and cider!

Oat milk – so, what’s all the fuss about?

But what actually is it? And why is it so good? Let’s take a look.
