Principle of Hospitality

By POH Network

Principle of Hospitality (POH) saw a gap in Australia’s hospitality industry — with a growing need to keep abreast of the latest trends and innovations, as well as the changing needs of consumers, it was clear our hospitality heroes could benefit from a stronger support network.

POH is a shared learning space where industry-only people can impart wisdom and inspire each other through storytelling, with a strong focus on facilitating collaboration. They are here to disrupt current perceptions of what the hospitality industry can achieve in today’s ever-evolving and challenging environment.

Ep 173 - POH Summer Series 6/6 - Building an artisan food brand that genuinely cares for its producers with Sallie Jones from Gippsland Jersey

Gippsland Jersey does things differently, sourcing milk from smaller, family farms with incredible dairy farmers paying farmers a fair price for what they produce. By sidestepping large milk processors and value-adding already premium jersey local milk, they ensure a healthy wage for farmers and a clear choice for consumers, which is great news for everyone. In recent times their quality and service have been noticed by some of the best hospitality venues including Gimlet, three blue ducks and Attica, so it’s an honour to talk to their co-founder and director Sallie Jones.

In this podcast, we talk about why Sallie started the brand the honour her father, the difference in how they treated and pay their primary producers, and how she keeps such a fun and engaging brand with a fantastic staff culture.

Ep 172 - POH Summer Series 5/6 -  How to deliver a better and sustainable industry with Kirsty Chiaplias from Babajan

Babajan is a respectful term for an elderly, kind man and is the result of this desire is something our next guest and Middle Eastern speciality chef Kirsty Chaipilas hasn’t looked back since the café opened in 2016 on Nicholson Street in Carlton North.

Kirsty has a Greek background and more than 20 years of experience in professional kitchens, including working for Gordon Ramsay, so I am delighted to talk with her today with what I know is one of the most inspirational and leading cafe, bakery and fresh-food general stores in the country.

In this podcast we chat about how the changes she made has made a sustainable business, the power of hospitality in her community, and the challenges around employing and skilling our chefs, cooks and greater staff.  We are very open and honest in this podcast and appreciate Kirsty's rawness and humility, she is an absolute gun!

Ep 171 - POH Summer Series 4/6 - Matt Whiley from RE- on how he is developing the world's first no-waste bar in Sydney

Ep 171 - POH Summer Series 4/6 - Matt Whiley from RE- on how he is developing the world's first no-waste bar in Sydney

Ep 171 - POH Summer Series 4/6 - Matt Whiley from RE- on how he is developing the world's first no-waste bar in Sydney 

RE-, the world’s first permanent no-waste bar, is now open in the newly-restored South Eveleigh precinct. An inspiring collaboration between hospitality heavyweights Matt Whiley (Scout) and Maurice Terzini (Icebergs Dining Room & Bar; CicciaBella), RE- is a bar built from the ground up to be one of the world’s best, with the kind of drinks program Whiley has made a global name on, supported by Terzini’s signature tone and style. Whiley’s pioneering ethos first brought to life at Scout, brought a sharp focus to local ingredients and sustainability, leading the way with drinks that preference innovation and taste while minimising waste. 

At RE-, Whiley is pushing that to its limits, interrogating everything from the materials and glassware, to the light fittings, ingredients and garnishes, through to what goes in the bin. The result is an approach to waste that is world-leading, with every facet of the bar considered from the lens of sustainability. Whiley’s ultimate ambition is for RE- to be the driver of a global movement that reframes how bars talk about and act on, sustainability and waste. More than anything, he wants to demonstrate how sustainability, flavour and enjoyment can, and should, go together. 

In this podcast we talk about how Matt and his team are standing up this bar to make sure that is focused purely on sustainability, how they have built the supply chain, and how they are building a collaboration with Sydney bars to share the learnings of what will be one of the most extraordinary bars in this country.

Ep 170 - POH Summer Series 3/6 - Providing culture on a daily basis to energise the city with Andrew Joy from Carlton Wine Room

Carlton Wine Room occupies a treasured corner in the old part of Carlton in Faraday Street.  CWR is a classic bistro influence, with a respect for the changing seasons balanced with what their suppliers are offering to culminate in comforting dishes that work with wine.

They have distinct dining spaces over three levels that are linked by a common offering: solid informed service and good times.

In this podcast we talk with Andy about how he and Trav took over the venue with grace and humbleness, how he feels more connected to the industry out of the challenges of last year, and how we can build a positive culture into our industry.

As our heading suggests, venues like CWR deliver culture to our community and this is something that comes through on this podcast with Andy, and we hope you really enjoy it.

Ep 169 - POH Summer Series 2/6 - How Julien Moussi has grown Only Hospitality Group from a Coffee Cart to a cafe brand, roastery, and bakery group
Only Hospitality Group is a hospitality group based out of Melbourne, Victoria. Coming from humble beginnings, it all began with Director Julien Moussi rolling out the coffee cart to local football matches, with the aim of saving enough capital to start up his own café in Fitzroy. Fast forward 9 years and the group has expanded to consist of 21 venues, as well as our very own Coffee Roastery called Inglewood Coffee.
Driven by a passion for design and architecture, Only Hospitality prides itself on creating hospitality spaces that are welcoming, comfortable and memorable for both our customers and employees. This ideology is highlighted across all venues, with Bentwood Fitzroy, Stanley Mount Waverley and Glovers Station in Elsternwick being prime examples.
Despite the overwhelming success, the ambition and drive that Julien initially had for hospitality have only grown throughout his time as Director of Only Hospitality Group. So much so that this year he is striving to open an unprecedented 15 stores, a goal that is shared by many of those around him. In this podcast, we discuss how Julien has grown this empire into one that cares so much about the team and it's guests, and how he and his team continue to open venues that are unique and exciting.

The purpose of this panel is to discuss the main challenges hospitality in Australia is facing and to see if we can land on any solutions for these challenges. Additionally, we talked about the future of hospitality in a post-COVID world - especially when it comes to where, when, and how customers will frequent venues. Essentially, how will we get hospitality back to better business in 2022.

Guest hosted by Ordermentum CEO Adam Theobald, we brought together Emma Welsh from Emma and Tom's, Leon Kennedy from Proud Mary Coffee and Shaun de Vries from Open Pantry Consulting and Principle of Hospitality.

In this podcast we discuss:

  • Staff/labour shortages. Finding and keeping staff is a massive concern right now for businesses in general
  • Cashflow and financial pressures on businesses currently
  • Government support factors around the country
  • Mental health and uncertainty around the future
  • What we have gained and lost through the lockdowns of 2020/21

Ep 164 - Delivering Saturday dessert delight boxes with Audrey Allard from Holy Sugar

Ep 164 - Delivering Saturday dessert delight boxes with Audrey Allard from Holy Sugar

Ep 164 - Delivering Saturday dessert delight boxes with Audrey Allard from Holy Sugar 

Audrey Allard grew up in Northern NSW but knew she had to leave her comfort zone and head to the big smoke to sharpen up my culinary skills and make a name for herself.

In 2017 as a third-year apprentice studying my certificate 5 in Patisserie, she made a split decision to pack her car and head to Melbourne. This ranks this as one of the best decisions of my life, with the fact she ended up working in some pretty amazing restaurants such as Pt Leo Estate to Lune Croissanterie.

Like many others in Melbourne 2020, she had her shifts cut short and were in desperate need to keep her mind busy, so she started baking sweets for her housemates.

She truly lives and breathes desserts, so she thought why not just start her own business? Holy Sugar was created within a week,  with boxes heading out to friends from her Instagram page. It didn't take long for the word to spread and a cult following to form.

Holy Sugar is a one-woman show. From recipe testing to prep, socials, packing and deliveries.  She was fortunate enough to snag a space from our great friends at Worksmith, a collaborative hospitality working space with a commercial kitchen located at the back- this is where the magic happens on a weekly basis!

In this podcast we discuss how she built the brand after making the split-second decision to do so, how the business has evolved coming in and out of the Melbourne lockdowns since early 2020, and what she wants to do with the business next, including if she plans to open bricks and mortar store.  This podcast will make you want to chase your dreams too!

Ep 162 - *Bonus Episode* - Drinks Adventures Podcast with  Mikey Enright, Julian Train and Tim Stones from Hickson House in bringing distilling to Sydney CBD


About this special bonus podcast:

Founded in 2018, Drinks Adventures is a unique podcast covering the world of alcoholic beverages with a sense of adventure and discovery.  Drinks Adventures has to date has played host to some of the world’s biggest names in wine, beer, whisky, gin, sake, cider and more.

Memorable guests include actor and winemaker Sam Neill; musician and winemaker Maynard James Keenan; and techno artist and sake aficionado Richie Hawtin.

Drinks Adventures is produced and hosted by renowned drinks journalist James Atkinson, a Certified Cicerone® and the only dual winner of Best Media at the Australian International Beer Awards (2017 and 2021).


About this episode:

The hospitality veterans have teamed up with distiller Tim Stones, most recently of Manly Spirits in Sydney.  Hickson House will be producing gins, aperitifs, whiskies and specialist spirits crafted with locally-sourced ingredients, such as native botanicals from The Loch farm in Berrima, NSW.

There will be immersive, experiential tours, culminating with tastings, a spirit store and private dining experiences; with a mezzanine lounge sitting above an expansive bar, serving bespoke cocktails alongside a botanical-inspired menu.

The total business covers 450 square metres with 180sqm dedicated to the bar, kitchen and mezzanine area.

The space is designed by Sydney’s Steel & Stitch and Sara Mathers from the UK, working together to create a New York warehouse-style bar beside an active distillery.

As you’ll hear in this episode, some of the other details are still under wraps. I did what I could to get as much info as possible for you.

Now, as there are more voices in this episode than we’re accustomed to, it probably helps to tell you that Julian is the one with the Australian accent.

But it’s Mikey you’ll hear from first up, giving you the background on how the project was first conceived.

Ep 161 - How food waste is only one part of food insecurity with Bernardo Tobias from OzHarvest 

From humble beginnings, OzHarvest has become a leading food rescue organisation on a mission to ‘Nourish our Country’ by stopping good food from going to waste and delivering it to charities that help feed people in need.

Their yellow vans are out and about in communities every day, collecting quality surplus food from a network of donors, including supermarkets, cafes, delis, restaurants, corporate kitchens, airlines, hotels and other food businesses.

Today, OzHarvest operates nationally with offices in  Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Cairns, Canberra, Melbourne, Newcastle and Perth, and through a team of passionate volunteers in regional communities.

While our guest today, Bernardo Tobias, passion for the service of others has driven much of his career progression, his time with OzHarvest has cemented both his desire to use his skills for the greatest community impact and his understanding of the level of commitment, agility and collaboration that are required to achieve positive outcomes when faced with the complex, evolving demands we see in crisis management. Bernardo is proud and very grateful to be able to drive sustainability outcomes, engagement and behavioural change across Victoria and South Australia.

In this podcast we talk about the origin of OzHarvest, how they have handled the last 18 months with increased need but less supply, how they have had to purchase food for the first time in their history, the importance of understanding climate change, and how we can assist at a granular level to make a difference in food insecurity and cutting food waste.

Ep 149 - The most exciting new brewery in Adelaide with Oliver Brown from Bowden Brewery

The team behind NOLA Adelaide (Alex,  Joshua, Matthew, and our next guest Oliver Brown)  have joined forces with fellow brewer and beer lover, Jake Phoenix to launch Bowden Brewing.

Like many brilliant ideas before it, Bowden Brewing was formed over a few beers. 6 years ago, a few mates were enjoying a few pints and thinking up how they might be able to break the mould and chase their dreams of brewing.  Bowden Brewing’s taproom features 14 taps, every one of them playing host to products made by Bowden Brewing or in collaboration with other brands.

The Bowden Brewing kitchen is home to Masa, a restaurant headed by Ex - Restaurant Hubert and current Big Easy Group Executive Chef Harry Bourne. So it’s a pleasure to welcome back to the podcast Oliver Brown to chat about this great brewery.

In this episode we discuss how the idea for Bowden Brewing came about, how OJ and the team have kept their team engaged and working across all their venues, and the next stage for the brand to be an even bigger player in the South Australian hospitality scene.

By sidestepping large milk processors and value-adding already premium jersey local milk, they ensure a healthy wage for farmers and a clear choice for consumers, which is great news for everyone. In recent times their quality and service has been noticed by some of the best hospitality venues including Gimlet, three blue ducks and Attica, so it’s an honour to talk to their co-founder and director Sallie Jones.

In this podcast, we talk about why Sallie started the brand the honour her father, the difference in how they treated and pay their primary producers, and how she keeps such a fun and engaging brand with a fantastic staff culture.

Born and raised in Argentina, Dan Szwarc’s driving passion is food and, most of all, honesty when it comes to food.  His food style is multi-faceted combining influences from his French training, Australian lifestyle and South American heritage.

Dan is bringing the flavours of his homeland to Australia with Dan’s Empanada Bar, a concept that combined comfort food with snack elements. A tradition in Argentina and a legacy that he wants to share.

The talented Chef began his career as a student at the prestigious cookery school The Bue Trainers in Buenos Aires. He graduated with distinction at the top of his class before gaining experience at the Hyatt, Claridges and Gate Gourmet.

Dan moved to London to work under Peter Kromberg at the Intercontinental Hotel. A stint in cruise ships followed before he finally landed in Melbourne at Sofitel Hotel’s Le Restaurant with Marcus Moore.  Dan’s career took off in Australia at Crown casino, helming the kitchen of Number 8, before opening Les Boucheries Parisiennes with Phillipe Aubron.

Next up was running Joseph Vargetto’s Oyster Little Bourke, Albert Park Hotel and Livebait, before becoming Head Chef at Gary Mehigan’s Fenix restaurant and Made establishment’s Hellenic Republic in Brunswick and Hellenic Hotel in Williamstown.

Dan has represented Australia at the finals of LCDR in Singapore and in 2020 he will judge the renowned Chef of the Year Competition, which sees professional chefs compete against other chefs and the clock in a test of creativity, kitchen skills and ingenuity.

In this podcast we discuss how Dan ended up coming to Melbourne, what true Argentian food is to him, and his plans as he scales his amazing Empanada bar concept.

Carlton Wine Room occupies a treasured corner in the old part of Carlton in Faraday Street.  CWR is a classic bistro influence, with a respect for the changing seasons balanced with what their suppliers are offering to culminate in comforting dishes that work with wine.

Ep 138 - The pioneer of Fresh Casual dining in Melbourne with Matt Lane at Mamasita & Hotel Jesus

Ep 138 - The pioneer of Fresh Casual dining in Melbourne, Matt Lane at Mamasita & Hotel Jesus 

Matt Lane began his hospitality career at a very early age cleaning out fried chicken vats at Ollies Trollies, Glenferrie Rd Malvern. Matt has held management positions in many much-loved Melbourne cafes, clubs and restaurants such as The Botanical, The Black Match & Cumulus Inc., and was managing consultant and opening co-ordinator for No. 97 in St. Kilda and Misty in Hosier Lane. 

Matt’s love affair with Mexican cuisine first began whilst living with a Mexican Chef in Seville, Spain and later, Barcelona and when the opportunity arose to head La Esquina in New York City as General Manager, Matt jumped at the chance. La Esquina would undoubtedly be the most successful Mexican restaurant in NYC, and it was through this role Matt got to travel to Mexico several times. Following his employment at La Esquina he took up residency in Oaxaca for 9 months. Matt returned to Melbourne in 2009 to open Mamasita and in September 2016, his second Mexican restaurant, Hotel Jesus in Collingwood.

In this podcast we speak about how the idea for Mamasita came about, how he built loyalty quickly with his customers and staff, and how 2020 made his group of venues stronger.  Matt and his team really did develop the fresh-casual scene in Melbourne and it was a pleasure to learn from him during this podcast.

Episode 129 - How a crowd-funded Melbourne start-up will take on takeaway coffee cups in a sustainable way with Catherine and Aniyo from Good-Edi Friends and Good-Edi founders, Catherine Hutchins and Aniyo Rahebi, have come up with a unique solution to make the consumption of coffee truly ethical with an edible coffee cup. Choosing the Good-Edi cup at a café means that takeaway coffee lovers don’t need to remember to bring their reusable cup, and they don’t need to accept a single-use takeaway cup that cannot be recycled and will end up in the bin a few minutes later. Good-Edi is like a waffle cone that can be eaten once it has fulfilled its use as a cup. Consumers not wanting to eat it can throw it in the compost or even the general rubbish, knowing it will not take more than a few weeks to break down naturally. In this podcast, we talk about how they have raised the money to bring it to market, why the product is different from reusable cups and the extraordinary statistics on the number of takeaway coffee cups used in Australia everyday!
