Aged Care Catering Summit 2024: A Tsunami of residents with food allergies is coming. Is your Aged Care Facility Prepared? No surprises to those in the kitchens and nutritionists. Food allergy rates have continued to climb aggressively, with an ongoing rise in the number of affected individuals, underscoring the need for continued change and adaptation in aged-care culinary. This rising prevalence of food allergy and the tsunami of patients entering the system in the next 5-15 years demand change in aged care facilities. This was a core topic at the recent Foodservice Expo, and here are some key takeaways: - Food allergy rates continue to climb aggressively, affecting 1 in 10 babies, 1 in 20 children, and 2-3% of adults (ASCIA) - Food allergies have increased by approximately 50% in children from 1997 to 2011 (ASCIA) - Chefs must stay updated on allergy trends and best practices to ensure safe and inclusive dining experiences As a chef or aged care professional, it's crucial to adapt to these changes. Careful Ingredient Selection: Chefs must source and check ingredients meticulously to avoid allergens. Increasingly, this is done using suppliers focusing on ingredient/allergen controls, clear labelling, and recording. Constant review - Having scheduled regular internal audits as well as regular external audits not only for food safety but also for potential risk through allergenic contamination “Inclusive Dining” - A move towards creating diverse, allergy-safe menus (for the main allergen groups) simplifies the process. As the name suggests, it creates a more inclusive meal experience.

Hospitality is more than just a service industry, when done well, it can provide an immersive and moving human experience. Our recruitment company specialises in recruiting staff for restaurants.Restaurants that are staffed correctly have an "X factor" that creates loyalty and renown. Nowadays, having food knowledge, training, and passion is not enough for the entire team; restaurants require that special "X factor" to create something truly unique. #sydneyresturants #restaurantsinsydney #sydneybestrestaurants #sydneyrestaurantsandbars #bestrestaurantssydney

At Placed, we understand that businesses and people have unique personalities that may not always align with what they produce or present. For instance, a restaurant with a casual vibe may have a playful, inventive, and slightly wild atmosphere where self-expression is encouraged and celebrated, while a local café may be serious, conservative, and highly astute. These variations also apply to individuals, and what you see or expect may not always be what you get. That's why Placed is different from the rest. We have designed our approach around matching people based on culture, personality, and fit. We take the time to comprehend the intricacies of our candidates and clients, and then we search for the perfect match. It takes more than HR skills to do that; you need to understand the hospitality industry and have lived it, and that's precisely what everyone at Placed has done. #sydneyhospitalitysupplies #sydneyhospitalityjobs #sydneyhospitalitystaff #workandtravel #careersearch #careermove #jobdescription #careerchanges #optimalrecruitment

Preparing for an interview in hospitality. 1. Be confident in your abilities. Remember it is only a meeting of people and after all you were selected and invited to attend. 2. Good communication skills are an essential part of many hospitality jobs, so go into the interview with a smile, and shake the hands of the people who will be meeting with you. 3. Remember the name/s and position/s of the people you are meeting with. If they offer their business card/s, place in them front of you to refer to the name/s.
