Cargo Crew are so proud to have presented the DineSmart 20th anniversary dinner, hosting 110 diners who enjoyed signature dishes & paired wines from 6 Dinesmart restaurants: Victoria by Farmer's Daughters, Supernormal, Dessou, Ladro, Izakaya Den and Apollo Sydney.
The Scarf front of house team wore a paired ‘uniform menu’ of 3 different looks to showcase the power of a uniform for an amazing customer experience, while empowering and uniting a team. They looked incredible and it was humbling to see the graduates from Scarf truly transform their confidence when they put on their uniforms. With ticket sales and a live auction, the night was an overwhelming success, raising $46,243 towards StreetSmart.
After 21 years in business, we’ve become very interconnected with the hospitality industry and the night was full of stories about support and the power of relationships throughout COVID. To come out the other side and see hospitality thriving, it was a joy to celebrate the impact when we unite for a common cause.
