Warning of drastic hospitality cost rise to impact Australia’s economy
Sky News host Steve Price says twice as many hospitality businesses have been “going bust” as they were ten years ago.
Mr Price said Independent Food Distributors Australia warns we could soon be facing $10 coffees and $100 steak and chips if nothing gets done about rising costs.
“Everything has gone through the roof.”

When families are paying an extra $18,000 extra on their mortgage, an extra thousand on their energy bill and higher insurance plus increased prices for groceries a year, buying a coffee or eating out at a restaurant becomes a luxury.

Labor has already ruined Australia, too late. eg: Labor has signed off to allow multi national corporations to build 150,000 new homes, only to be rented out, no chance of buying one.

It costs the average Aussie a small fortune to heat their home. Inflation is high, food is expensive, fuel is expensive, rent is out of control. But of course the government decides to instead spend hundreds of millions of dollars on foreign aid and pointless referendums that no one asked for.

No one is paying $10 for a coffee, any business that tries that will fail… $100 steak is pretty common if you want fillet or tomahawk.
The NDIS is causing inflation.
I have been having coffee with a group of friends every Saturday morning for going on 25 years. We are/were all business owners and it was a time for us to rant and offload the week’s activities and discuss business problems. We frequented a few local coffee shops in rotation and are now at the point where we just walk in, sit down and the correct coffees are delivered to each person. We have continued this tradition through the years supporting local and small business. The businesses we frequent have become havens for business people and local employees. The number of times we have had a young girl in tears because of work stress or similar situations is uncountable. Because of these activities, these coffee shops have not had to increase their prices. As such they are receiving so much patronage, it is unbelievable. Everyone wins in this situation. It’s all about supporting community, families and sharing knowledge, respect and love without the nonsense of the woke liberal lunatics. Australians need to come together and start focusing again on our core values. Lives change when we support one and other..!
People take away coffee is a new thing. In 1970-80s it wasn't around. We can live without it.

Twice as many going bust as 10 yrs ago cause there’s twice as many cafes. Market is saturated. How many coffee shops do we really need? 10 yrs ago a coffee cost X to sell 400 a day . Now they sell 200 a day for 2X and still make the same money bar inflation. Coffee hasn’t gone up , milk hasn’t really gone up much , water is practically free. Rent and wages only and yet prices up 40%. They put the prices up because you told them they could use inflation as the justification. It’s self perpetuating . With so many out of work baristas can’t believe they can put upward pressure on wages. Just put coffee prices up on Sunday’s. Just because you open a cafe or restaurant doesn’t mean you are entitled to succeed. The business model is wrong if they would only look at it . These businesses come and go forever. I live close to a restaurant strip for 30 yrs , thats the way it has always been. Never been more coffee shops. The little surf shops and laundromats and real estates are all now coffee shops. Stop being so manipulated.
Frugal people will never pay $10 for a coffee…they make it home…☕💯

As far as meat is concerned, it’s amazing the media has completely ignored the just introduced fart tax on livestock within the last 2 weeks, which has increased its price.
Businesses are experiencing the same price increases as households. We get told to stop spending to fix inflation. Wages are fixed for 12 months, its rent, insurance, COGS, utilities and fuel that keep going up 10-20% as these sectors are price gouging. But there is no pressure on utility, insurance companies or fuel companies to keep a lid on the prices they charge. Big business are putting small business and households under pressure as they can charge what they want. That is the problem.
It won't be just hospitality, that goes to the wall!
You get what you paid for, and you were warned ⚠️
By the way 300-500 yen for a cafe latte here
We knew this was coming. Who is responsible? Hahaha!😂
5 years old a drink 🍸 in a night club was $10 2024 its still $10 a drink
Rent, Insurance petrol and Energy have increased for all small businesses, not just hospitality.
And during Covid with the Libs in........has everyone forgotten. We need a totally new form of govt
Sorry, but it's a chronically overcrowded market place. Even the smallest shopping centres have 947 cafes.
Electricity has just gone up again and at the same time they are dropping the feed in tariff for solar ,the rip off country
Vote for cheaper coffee every four years.
If any cafe owner charges $7 or more for a large coffee, the economy is not blame… the business’s operations are.
So basically we have inflation. With the RBA Cash rate simply not high enough to quell it.
It won't be any different with Dutton and Littleproud!
Here’s an idea.. how about all these “baristas” get a real trade ? …

Like I went to a bakery the other day and bought 2 pies to take home.. one for my housemate who was home and the other for myself.. almost $20 and I instantly thought.. this is the last time I buy from here!! Sadly we just don't have the money and it is coming down to a simple decision.. save the money and don't spend on what we can't afford!! Like I just said to someone.. if I go and see the Alien: Romulus movie then I best save up now with a tocket costing between $22-$55 alone!!
I have cut my take away coffee down now. 5.70 was fine, 5 90 or more yeah its now the odd occasion. I make my coffee more at hme now

$10 a coffee no thanks

Higher wages, higher running costs, higher prices to the consumer.
Been buying Aldi coffee beans for near on 5 years, same price now as it was 5 years ago. Makes the best coffee for about 30c a cup. Call me a cheapskate, I know where I’ll be drinking my coffee.

PAYING CASH HELPS SMALL BUSINESSES
You'd have to "Biden 4 brains" to own a cafe, restaurant or small business. High food cost, labour cost, inurance, equipment & maintenance, rent and fickle patrons who will gladly line up for 2 hours to try the latest gimmick.
Another impact on the average citizen. Politicians are out of touch. Their talk is cheap because it doesn’t lead to solutions to cost of the cost of living crisis. They are comfortable and will be comfortable when their political careers are over. How many have worked in the real world? How many would get a high paying position on merit and not given to them?

Why is the Labour party
buy the coffee beans and make it at home.
It's the revolving door...the price of Fuel rises ...then the price of transport rises ... then the cost of the freight they transport rises.....then of course the cost of the goods the retailer sell rises ....then of course the electric cost rises adds more to retail cost ....the it's the labor governments turn to raise wages and super cost to the employer...the the emplyer needs to lay staff off or raise the cost on goods again to recover all the above + the rise of insurances covers +++++ . This list could go on much further add home & rent cost so on .. That's the revolting door.. . What is the point of raising cost when it just goes full circle to start again & Then end result of it all is Nobody really gain's anything from it at all
In the future, the price of everything on restaurant menus will be Market Price. We all know that Market Price means you have to ask, and, of course, you know what it means if you have to ask for the price.

There should be payment for people that don’t want to take part in artificial war cost of housing the immigrant that wasn’t taught is schools as compensation.
