QT HOTELS & RESORTS WORKS WITH LOCAL GROWERS AND FARMERS:

In a move set to alter industry standards in Australia, designer hotel group QT Hotels & Resorts has decided to ‘change’ the face of its food supply chain to bring some seasonal and specialised produce straight from the producer to the plate. So, they’ve engaged Georgie Neal to the newly-created role of ‘Forager’.

The QT Forager role will see Georgie establish a close working relationship with farmers and growers nationwide, using fresh, seasonal produce for restaurants including Gowings Bar and Grill, Capitol Bar and Grill and the QT Resorts interactive marketplace concept, Bazaar.

“I’m thrilled to be able to develop a long lasting and mutually beneficial network with growers nationwide who are as passionate about food freshness and great produce as we are,” said Georgie over a midweek lunch.

“With suppliers and supermarkets embroiled in ever-increasing price wars, this new arrangement means that the growers are receiving a better price for their produce. This will be showcased through the high standard of dishes created at QT Hotels by Creative Food Director, Robert Marchetti and the Bazaar teams in the QT Resorts.”
