Hostec supports Bandanna Day

 

Wear a cool bandanna and show your support to CanTeenWear a cool bandanna and show your support to CanTeen

This Friday – Hostec gets behind CanTeen to support National Bandanna Day. CanTeen – The Australian Organisation for Young People living with cancer. This year’s Bandanna Day is set to be one of the biggest ever and there are heaps of ways you can get involved. In the spirit of hospitality some of our fantastic Hostec team members are donating their time to selling bandannas this Friday on the street. We will also be selling them in our office if you would like to purchase one from one of our friendly team members.

CanTeen is based on the philosophy that no young person should go through their cancer experience alone. By supporting National Bandanna Day, you’ll be helping CanTeen continue to run their camps, services and programs, as well as help the foundation put together resources to help young people get through their cancer experience.

So when is it? Friday 30th October. Where can you buy them? Hostec will be out in the streets selling merchandise  around the city and also in the office. So this Friday come support a great cause and wear a funky bandanna for CanTeen.

Why poor hygiene freaks me out

I 'borrowed' this from one of my client's blogs, but I think that the message being presented here is crystal clear. I'm quite revolted by poor hygiene in public eateries, bars, nightclubs and cafes... I would personally advocate mandatory food safety training for bartenders - might teach them something... Anyway, have a read!


"Hygiene is imperative in any food or drink industry, to ignore this priority means that the health and safety of your patrons is at jeopardy. Not only this, but so is your reputation as an employee or as a business.

In reading some articles on the said topic of hygiene and the importance of Food Safety Training, we came across this article as presented on a news site in Milwaukee, America. Apparently bartenders at a popular nightclub had not been washing their hands of their glasses when serving alcohol. Appallingly, the results of a bacteria test concluded that there was in fact an amount in excess of 7540 different strains of bacteria inside the glass as opposed to the normal 10 strains that show up as a result of washing hands and serving with clean glasses.

Not only is this shocking and vulgar, but it also poses as a health risk to loyal bar patrons. At etrainu, Our Qld RSA courses and Food Safety Training courses are designed to teach students the importance of hygiene in the hospitality industry. You may think that serving a drink with unwashed hands is harmless because you're simply pouring a drink, but the result is quite the opposite.

Anyway, it's an interesting case study nonetheless and if you want to read the full article you can find it here: http://www.todaystmj4.com/features/dirtydinning/42035442.html
