What’s driving industry growth?
Australia’s ‘foodie culture’ is expected to underpin revenue growth in the restaurants
industry in the next five years to 2022. The Australian dollar’s low value is likely to continue
stimulating inbound tourist growth, which is expected to boost demand for accommodation.

What are the winning restaraunts, bars and pubs doing better?

Pubs are increasingly marketing themselves as an alternative to restaurants by evolving menus to
become gastronomy destinations. Greater menu sophistication is driving an increasing proportion
of revenue from food rather than drinks. Profit margins in premium food sales improved in 2016-
2017 both in WA and nationally, with rising interest in high-quality food expected to boost revenue
for gourmet food venues.
