THE BEST 10 AUSTRALIAN FOOD IN 2024

Before you find the best 10 Australian foodslet me tell you something you have probably been turning a blind eye to…

You will never build a sustainable business based on takeaway sales.

  • If you use Uber Eats, DoorDash or Menulog, the 20% to 30% you pay them for every single order is helping them grow their business, not yours.
  • When you sell using those delivery apps, you are helping them grow their database, not yours. Yes, that’s right, you cannot request them to transfer your hard-earned takeaway customers’ data to your best CRM software
  • To get more takeaway sales you constantly need to advertise more offers and cut more profit.

Takeaway is NOT your business.

You are in the business of making people feel amazing. (the experience)

You sell an experience.

You do not sell food.

Offering yummy food is not enough if you want to make a profit.

Many can offer a tasty dish but extremely few are offering an amazing service.

The better you become at making people feel amazing, the easier will be to charge a premium for the experience you offer (Premium price – profit driver)

Let that sink in for a minute.

High dependency on takeaway sales is happening to business owners who have not had the skills and knowledge to train their staff and teams in remarkable customer service.

And I do not blame them.

In general, the service you get at restaurants and food outlets in Australia is s***t! with few exceptions counted with half of one hand’s fingers.

As consumers are not seeing the value of sitting at a restaurant, they either:

  • Cook at home
  • Buy pre-cooked meals at supermarkets or
  • Buy takeaway

All these cut the massive opportunity you have to make a big profit.

The solution

I can train you and your team on how to deliver a truly unique and remarkable experience that will keep customers for years talking about it.

You will also learn:

  • Lower customer acquisition costs.
  • Minimise dependency on food delivery apps and paid media.
  • Build a marketing engine with marketing assets and channels you fully own.
  • How to craft a marketing plan that boosts your food sales and customer lifetime value.

Now let’s talk about what Aussies consider to be the best food consumed in Australia.

In other words, you are about to find a  “best 10” list of what Australians consider the “best food”. 

Some of our best virtual assistants have researched what the best foods and dishes are in Australia. 

Our virtual assistants look at:

  • Popular foods and dishes search in Google Australia
  • The number of positive mentions of foods and dishes by Australians on social media.
  • Food articles written by food bloggers, chefs and foodies based in Australia.

Sadly, there are low signs of organic food or healthy food becoming mainstream.

Online apps and food delivery services are making junk food more accessible as confirmed by the University of Sydney research.

“You do not necessarily need to follow the trend of opening a popular junk takeaway food business. If all the trends, data and insights are telling you to open  – for example – a new “fish and chips” store to make money, think about the contribution are you making to your community. Do they need another junk food store in town? If – on the contrary – you are passionate about organic or vegan, but the data tells you there is no market for it, you can start small with a food truck/van and once you educate the market about the benefits of your new healthy offering, you can scale up”
