With lockdown regulations relaxing, many pubs, cafes and restaurants are getting ready to open up their doors.
To celebrate the big milestone, hospitality group Applejack has announced they will introduce a ‘choose what you pay’ initiative for the first reopening day of each of their five venues, as a way to give back to their staff.
The venues include SoCal (Neutral Bay), The Butler (Potts Point), The Botanist (Kirribilli), Endeavour Tap Rooms (The Rocks) and Bopp & Tone (CBD).
So how will it work?
During the first day of trade at each of their restaurants (which will see a staggered reopening rollout), food will be provided on-the-house (excluding all drink sales), allowing patrons to choose what they wish to pay for their food orders.
All monetary contributions for the group-wide ‘Food Sales For Staff’ initiative will be pooled and shared equally, going directly to all returning Applejack employees that lost their income and weren't eligible for the government's JobKeeper Payment scheme.
