As newcomers to this great state, Queensland has proved very rewarding to I Need a Chef & I Need Event Staff, welcoming us with open arms. With Brisbane on the cusp of making a big impact on the hospitality scene in Australia, I Need a Chef is now here to give that extra bit of support in making the city a food capital to recognise. Brisbane is a thriving multicultural hub with a population of 2.2 million, making it the third-largest city in Australia. It also has the largest population growth rate of any capital city in Australia. Followed behind Brisbane as the sixth largest city in Australia is Gold Coast with a population of 600,000. Gold Coast is consistently one of the most popular tourist and holiday destinations in Australia with more than 12 million visiting every year. South east Queensland holds great events every year and boasts hundreds of hotels, brewery's, clubs and restaurants. A large majority of these establishments are constantly busy and by using hospitality recruiting and chef agency's such as I Need A Chef & I Need Event Staff are able to keep up with the demand. With Brisbane and Gold Coast in such high demand of quality Chefs and hospitality staff, I Need a Chef is able to service the most prestigious restaurants and hotels with temporary hospitality staff and permanent placements as an additional service to the company. After all the excitement of Brisbane and Gold Coast, North Queensland and other areas of the State have also been showing great interest in our hospitality agency by taking full advantage of the great rates and regional offers I Need a Chef supplies. With chefs flying all over the country there's no part of Australia we can't get to! As winter approaches, and the so called "wet season" comes to an end, the food and wine aspect of Brisbane and Gold Coast will look to keep up such busy operations and compete with other food capitals of Australia. In doing so I Need a Chef & I Need Event staff are now part of the Queensland culture and will continue to provide the most efficient and highest quality hospitality and chef recruitment available. Be sure to keep an eye out for our next blog with updates of events and upcoming dates to be aware of including a look at the 2015 S.Pellegrino worlds 50 best restaurants awards to be announced soon.
