Go abroad alone to study abroad, the most miss is their meals ~
At this time, social app takeout is simply a life-saving straw.
As long as you enter "Private Kitchen" in the search bar, it seems to open a treasure trove of gourmet food in an instant!
You can only spend a dozen Australian dollars to taste the same Chinese eight dishes, but also affordable! Big measure! Variety! Some are delicious!
Even if freight is added, it will not be too expensive, which is simply beyond the reach of the multi-million-dollar Australian takeout APP.
Of course, there is another important reason: there is no time to cook!
Go abroad, busy outside, before graduation should be busy with school, graduation, but also busy career. Eating has become a luxury activity, isn't it.
"do not bother, do not go out, move your fingers, easily place orders, sit and wait for dinner!"
At the same time, a growing number of small cooking professionals, but also in the home opened the "private chef" to become a what others call social app takeout.
Today, however, I would like to remind you that it may be illegal to do takeout in Australia!
Light fines, heavy direct repatriation!
Do you know? Private chef social app Time line, Australia, has been targeted..
Some of your friends may not believe it?
We buy things in social app Time line, the emperor is far away, Australians do not understand Chinese, how is it possible to be targeted?
However, there is a startling reality in front of us..
In Australia, in a seafood social app group, the owner is a Chinese who calls himself David, who sells dumplings, desserts, seafood and other foods that Chinese people like to eat.
Which means that each of our friends has a private chef..
(from the network)
One day, David received an order for dumplings.
And, as agreed, when he delivered the goods at the designated location, something incredible happened..
Waiting for him is not the customer, but the Australian media < Richmond News > journalist.
And the purpose of journalist is to attack him!
All right, all the evidence.
When journalist saw him, he began to "scold"!
You said, this dumpling, there is no production date, no safety permits, no ingredients list. Who's responsible for what happened after eating these things?!
And, your cash deal, the, social app deal, you're making money on my land in Tu'ao, have you paid the tax on government?
This scared David's heart pounding, and he had to apologize all the time..
In fact, this is not a joke.
If you report to the police, the consequences are really unthinkable..
You know, the bloody cases of the past have taught us a lot of lessons..
In 2017, more than 30 international students faced the fate of being repatriated for selling desserts on social app.
Scared silly! 30 international students in social app selling desserts, unexpectedly encountered the collective repatriation! The parents cried blind..
It sounds like an exaggeration to do a take-out, but it's a real thing.
Before that, there was a post on a forum in China entitled "Chinese students are partnering in making dessert takeout and being repatriated by local restaurant brethren report".
In fact, the content of the post is very simple. Some Chinese students in Houston, the United States, usually like to make desserts and cakes and so on.
I used my spare time to open a private chef and sold it through social app.
It turned out it robbed some of the local Chinese restaurant business, and finally the restaurant owners co-named the group of foreign students, report to the Immigration Board!
Later, a total of about 30 Chinese students were later caught by the Immigration Board and returned to China collectively!
In these 30 students, many of them are about to graduate or go to school, this is repatriated, not only can not get a diploma, but also may have left a criminal record, it is regrettable … When the editor first saw the news, it really blew up!
First thought, our Australian Chinese social app Chef!
Time line everywhere!
Is it all illegal?
In fact, the truth is this..
So convenient for the people of social app takeout, how to be repatriated by report?!
In fact, the truth is like this.
First, the issue of visas..
Social app takeout is generally a foreign student, get a student visa.
Student visas do this, tax evasion, illegal business ah.
Second, food safety.
Western countries attach special importance to food safety, as long as it is related to eating, all need all kinds of certificates, all kinds of audit.
And the kitchen of social app chefs is usually in their own home, how about the sanitary conditions is not easy to say, but most do not have any relevant business license or health certificate …
It is illegal in itself to sell food under such conditions, and in case the guest eats something wrong, the responsibility will be even greater.
After understanding the relevant information, we found that every day we eat social app takeout, unexpectedly, most of them are illegal! I had no idea!
Food safety is difficult to guarantee, unfair to the shopkeeper, Australian catering industry management department CEO-Juliana Payne reminds consumers: order home-made meals online should think twice!
She says consumers have no way to determine whether food produced in this unregulated home kitchen meets strict food safety and hygiene regulations!
Some of them say they have food safety licenses in their kitchens, but many don't.
Food industry regulations are very strict, local councils manage these food stores and mandatory licensing.
"it's hard to investigate home-made sellers in unlicensed areas, such as the backyard or someone's own home kitchen, on the Internet," Payne said.
"it's hard to know if their food production process, etc., meets all the standards."
Restaurants, coffee shops and hotel owners all need to invest heavily in opening a company, "says Payne." A professional restaurant often requires a lot of investment and other efforts. "
"but if some people can cook homemade meals at home and can be sold through online platforms, it can lead to unfair competition."
The Queensland Department of Health encourages members of the public to refer to the local council report if they suspect that the restaurant's food is unsafe or that the restaurant does not have a food business license.
But then again.
30 foreign students were repatriated as a direct result of the local Chinese owner's report.
It's a little bit inappropriate..
So today, taking advantage of this explosion news, the editor is going to wake up all the chefs who are doing it or are going to do it!
All private cooks, be careful!
How do you legally take out in Australia?
According to Melbourne-based Monash Council staff, it is illegal to produce food privately at home and sell 100% of the food.
Cooking food for sale without sanitary permission, once found is a huge fine!
Although fines vary from state to state, for example, in Melbourne, municipal workers say it is 100 percent illegal for private takeout to sell food without a health permit.
Upon discovery, the maximum penalty is a fine of $20500.
Moreover, if the person involved is a foreign citizen, it is possible to face repatriation!
But don't panic! There's still a way ~
Take the new state as an example, if you want to make takeout, it is not really difficult!
1. Report to the authorities concerned that, according to decree No. NSW Health Food Act 2003 NO.43, once you decide to sell takeout food at home, either apply for a license or notify your council..
Editor recommends that you choose the council where the notification is better, because it is free …
Which council will be notified depends on the form and related content on the, NSW government site in your area, and you can also find the council: you belong to
http://www.foodauthority.nsw.gov.au/retail/cafes-restaurants-and-retail-outlets
At the same time, the application for a permit is divided into five phases:
Step 1: check
When the municipal government receives the application form, will come to the door to examine the preliminary situation.
Step 2: assess
The application will be forwarded to the service for evaluation and may require further review of the plan.
Step 3: decision
After receiving all relevant information, the final decision will be made.
Step 4: notification
If approved, you will need to fill in the food business notice and submit it to the local city government.
Step 5: routine inspection
If approved, home takeout will be scheduled for day-to-day inspection.
2. After the council has been notified, you will be required to use the general standards of the catering industry to request your kitchen!
In short, it is necessary to comply with these three provisions of decree-Law NSW Health Food Act 2003 NO.43:
-Regulation 3.2.2: food safety regulations and general requirements
-Regulation 3.2.3: food production sites and facilities
-part 1.2: labels and other information requirements.
The editor will simply translate it here, and more details will need to be read by the chefs themselves:
http://www.foodauthority.nsw.gov.au/retail/cafes-restaurants-and-retail-outlets
a. Kitchen standards for takeout premises
Take-out battlefield-Kitchen and food storage rooms must meet standards, kitchen must be equipped with adequate cleaning facilities to ensure the personal hygiene of operators, specific requirements can be found in your area of council specific standards.
Here's a little bit to mention. If your kitchen is too small or your takeout is too large, council might ask you to get a new kitchen.
b. There's plenty of room for cold storage.
New state decrees must have enough refrigerated space to ensure the safety of fresh and cold food. Ensure that meat, eggs, etc., must be stored below 5 °C, and that the refrigerating space is adequately refrigerated.
Looks like to make takeout, a good quality refrigerator, ah …
Food cooking, operation and storage
You should not rely too much on microwave ovens to cook food. Some food that has the temperature requirement, must reach the corresponding temperature when cooking.
Ready-to-use food and raw materials should be stored separately. Food producers must have sufficient knowledge and skills in food safety. And make sure children, pets and sick people stay away from the food-making area.
Food containers should not be mixed with other containers. Some food containers, if used inappropriately, can also produce harmful chemical reactions to food.
These should not be difficult to meet the standards.
c. Record the raw materials you purchased
It is best to maintain the purchase record of raw materials to ensure that the raw materials are recalled and confirmed immediately.
Supermarket tickets have to be kept.
Be ready for inspection
From the NSW Food Bureau and the local council, visits and inspections of family-style catering are conducted from time to time.
And the requirements of each state are slightly different, and the details can be found below.
