Part 1.1
a. Brief explanation and contact details of venue choice
Quay is one of the finest restaurants in Australia located at Upper Level, Overseas Passenger Terminal, The Rocks, Sydney 2000. The restaurant can also be reached at 0292515600 (Quay Restaurant Sydney, 2020). The Quay Restaurant has also featured in the 27th spot of the World Top 100 Restaurant List in addition to the high standard and quality of food and service (Top10restaurants, 2020). The menu is dynamic and offers a variety of texture and alternates to choose from and the employees are considered to be at the pinnacle of their capabilities.
b. Job title, general duties and the pay range of the job they have selected, including a career progression chart.
The title of the job is a server in the restaurant and the general duties included serving the food prepared by the chefs to the guests and customers of the restaurant in a professional manner. It also required receiving any instruction or feedback from the customers and conveying them to the kitchen. So, the job is also a bridge between the kitchen and the customers. The pay range of the job is from AUD $ 28,500 to AUD $ 83,400 while the average pay is AUD $ 54,500 at an average of AUD $ 17.23 (Salaryexplorer, 2020).
c. Ethical and legal issues related to the job role
Some of the prominent ethical and legal issues include:
d. Two examples of government associations providing information relating to the job role
1. Job Outlook-It is a website run by the Australian government that contains specific details about the job role of a server in the hospitality sector. The website also contains various sections including prospects, pathways, skills and knowledge and work environment for the provided job role in the hospitality sector as well (Joboutlook, 2020).
2. Skills.vic.gov is another Government run website that contains the description of the skills, specialisations and responsibilities of the workers and servers in restaurants. It also helps the students and individuals to enrol in the course for improving their skills in their respective job sector in restaurants (Skills.vic.gov, 2020).
e. Two (2) issues impacting the sector
1. Covid-19 impact-According to a recent survey, the decline in the revenue in the hospitality sector is going to continue amidst the recent travel bans by the state government due to the Coronavirus prevalence around the globe. Thus, the industry will be experiencing this downfall still after the cure of the Coronavirus is found (Ibisworld, 2020).
2. Shortage of experienced staff- In the year 2017, the Government has abolished 457 scheme of visa crackdown which is estimated to be resulting in making the restaurant industry to be suffering from shortages of at least 120,000 by the end of the decade (Bourke, 2017).
f. One example of emerging food trends or services
Quay restaurant has recently launched a 4-course lunch menu which is served to the customers from Friday to Saturday every week (Tripadvisor, 2020). The menu includes mixed seafood starter which is becoming the favourites of the customer through its authentic taste and deliciousness. The food also includes wines which provide good complements to the dishes. Thus, delicious food itself has become one of the emerging trends for the restaurant which the customers enjoy alongside the harbour.
