The $37,500 Fine You Didn't See Coming: Hospitality Compliance and Staff Training for Cafes and Restaurants, with Brendan Power

Hospitality veteran Brendan Power joins Phil Di Bella to demystify the complex world of industry compliance. From food safety to the latest seafood labelling laws, they explore how training isn't just a regulatory box-ticking exercise, but a vital tool for staff retention and brand authority. In this episode you will Understand the essential food and liquor licences required before opening a hospitality venue. Discover the difference between accredited courses and micro-credentials to better skill your team. Learn about the upcoming July 2026 seafood labelling standards and how they affect your menu. Identify the common compliance traps that lead to heavy fines for both owners and staff. KEY TAKEAWAYS Secure a Food Licence First: Never attempt to open without a valid food licence; local councils can issue immediate fines or shut down operations. Automate Monitoring: Use digital temperature probes that link to mobile devices to provide instant, auditable proof of food safety compliance to inspectors. Mandatory Supervision: Ensure at least one certified Food Safety Supervisor (Level 2) is on duty at all times to meet regulatory requirements. Universal RSA Requirements: Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) training is mandatory for anyone serving alcohol, including staff in non-licensed venues handling BYO. The RMLV Requirement: If the owner or licensee is not present on-site for the majority of the time, a Responsible Manager of a Licensed Venue (RMLV) must be appointed. Seafood Transparency: Prepare for new country-of-origin labelling rules for seafood effective 1st July 2026 to ensure customer transparency. Recruitment Strategy: Use accredited training as a "resume builder" to attract and retain high-quality talent in the competitive 18–24-year-old market. Brand Authority: Displaying compliance certificates prominently helps build customer trust and signals that you take service standards seriously. BEST QUOTES (05:28) "There's no excuse from a compliance [standpoint]... ignorance is not an excuse." (08:14) "Every time you add a level of complexity, you add a level of cost." (13:17) "[Outcomes] give them confidence. And there's nothing better than having someone behind a counter [where] you can sense their confidence." (18:11) "You're messing with people's lives. It's not as though you're going to get a negative tick on Google." (25:36) "The forward-facing stuff is still humans. Especially in hospitality." (27:35) "Where your awareness goes, your energy flows." (29:17) "Training is a retention and attraction strategy."

Episode thumbnail for Pay Day Superannuation: What You Need to Know Now

March 22, 2026

Pay Day Superannuation: What You Need to Know Now

The Australian Taxation Office is introducing the biggest shift to superannuation in years, moving from quarterly payments to a "Payday Super" model. Linda Dang, CEO of e.Advisory, joins Phil Di Bella to explain how hospitality businesses must adapt their cash flow and payroll systems before 1 July to avoid daily compounding penalties.   WHY LISTEN Understand the Mandate: Learn exactly what Payday Super means for your weekly or fortnightly pay cycles. Avoid Penalties: Discover how the ATO's new penalty regime compounds interest on a daily basis for late payments. System Upgrade: Identify which payroll softwares automate award compliance and super distribution. Cash Flow Strategy: Get practical advice on transitioning your bank balance to handle more frequent outflows. Data Integrity: Understand why the 28-day "buffer" for fixing errors is disappearing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Start Early: Do not wait until 1 July; implement payday super payments now to identify system errors and adjust cash flow expectations. Audit Your Data: Ensure all employee TFNs and super fund details are 100% accurate, as "bad data" is the primary cause of payment failure. Use Modern Payroll: Transition away from manual tracking to software like FoundU, Tanda, or Deputy to manage complex hospitality awards and automated super calculations. Prepare for the Double-Hit: In July, businesses must pay both the final June quarter super and the new payday super simultaneously. Manage the "Stapling" Rule: Employers are responsible for checking the ATO portal to find an employee's "stapled" fund if they don't provide details. Beyond Super: Track every tax invoice and expense daily rather than monthly to maintain a true picture of "liquid cash". Expert Integration: Treat bookkeeping and accounting as an investment that removes the "admin burden," allowing owners to focus on front-of-house growth. BEST QUOTES [00:02:22] "Payday super, essentially paying super as you pay wages." [00:03:33] "ATO's number one focus has always been on workers' superannuation. It is their number one red flag." [00:03:45] "They're happy for you to owe them money. But certainly not happy for you to owe your workers money." [00:07:21] "We just have to assume it's going to be tough. Okay. Yeah. So it's expect the worst, right?" [00:09:18] "It gets compounded every single day... 0.03% every single day if you don't pay super in time." [00:12:13] "Accounting and bookkeeping is always an investment. It takes the admin burden off a business owner." [00:14:01] "The money coming into your cash register... is not yours until you've paid all your expenses." ABOUT THE GUEST Linda Dang Linda is the CEO and Founder of e.Advisory and a hospitality accountant turned business growth consultant. With over a decade of experience, she combines a background in hospitality management with financial expertise to help SMEs navigate complex compliance and growth hurdles. What you’ll learn from them today: How to transition your business to the Payday Super model and use payroll technology to automate compliance.   Links: Website: advisory.com.au Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/management-advisors-pty-ltd/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/managementadvisors/ BRANDS, TOOLS & RESOURCES e.Advisory – Linda Dang’s accounting and business growth firm – advisory.com.au The Coffee Commune – A collaborative hub for the coffee and hospitality community – coffeecommune.com.au Xero / MYOB – Accounting software with integrated payroll features.
