The always-filled tables of Attica, in Melbourne, now sit empty, but don’t worry. You didn’t miss your chance to enjoy these award-winning creations from Ben Shewry. Like every other business, Attica has also had to pivot and now offers Attic at Home — pre-set courses that are available for delivery.
For decades, small business owners have been told that “cash is king”, but that landscape is starting to change. Modern consumers are turning more and more to cashless payments when buying everything from a cup of tea to pricy electronics. In fact, for the first time in history, cashless business has overtaken cash purchases, with credit and debit card sales making up nearly 80 per cent of transactions.
Bentley Restaurant and Bar, a multiple award-winning restaurant in Sydney’s CBD, has also started making its product offerings available on delivery apps like HungryHungry. It’s converted its multi-course menu to a more delivery-friendly option. Customers receive 13 different containers to prepare their multi-course meal, instructions on how to plate it, and even a link to a curated Spotify playlist to play in the background.
