FAST FOOD and TAKE-AWAY SECTOR Overview
Fast food is about a high turnover of
inexpensive menu selections provided
in minutes in disposable packaging
– either over the counter or through
a drive-way service. Fast food outlets
usually operate in chains and meals
are eaten on the premises as well as
taken elsewhere.
Take-away food is usually prepared
to order in smaller businesses, and
although there may be some seating
on-site, it is usually eaten away from
the premises.

>> More than 10,000 people are
employed in this sector in South
Australia, about 10% of all people
working in retail.
>> There are high levels of support
staff (cooks, kitchen hands).
>> The sector is a significant
employer of youth, with more
than half of all employees under
19 years.
>> South Australians spend more
than $62 million a month in
the sector, with one-third of
consumers aged 18–24 years.
Fast food is on a health-kick! There
will always be a place for burgers;
chicken; pizza; or fish and chips,
but people now eat out or buy
take-away food more often – so they
want healthier choices too.
Traditional fast food outlets have
changed their cooking methods and
ingredients – and expanded their
menus. There’s also a range of
new options like sushi, salad bars,
baguettes, juice bars, noodles and
other Asian specialities.

Correct handling and storage of food
is critical, as is attention to safety.
Uniforms or protective clothing
are common.
Major outlets will use computerised
systems to place or track orders
and drive-through staff will use
head-sets. Part-time hours are
usually regular.
Often it’s a young team serving mostly
young customers, so it can be fun as
well as hard work.
