Whitsunday Foodservice Trade Show: A Feast For The Senses!

The Whitsundays are about to be the centre of Australia’s foodservice industry as suppliers from across the country descend upon our stunning region for the Whitsunday Foodservice Trade Show.

This year’s event is set to be bigger and better than ever, with over 75 suppliers and more than 150 industry professionals showcasing an impressive array of products tailored for Whitsunday Foodservice’s  diverse customer base. Whether you’re running a pub, café, restaurant, or even a food van, this is your chance to explore the latest and greatest in foodservice offerings.

Patrick Morrissey, General Manager of Whitsunday Foodservice, is excited about the opportunities this Trade Show brings. “This is a fantastic platform for suppliers to introduce both new and beloved products to our customers. It’s not just about selling—it's about sparking conversations, inspiring ideas, and helping our customers find exactly what they need to elevate their businesses,” he said.

The Trade Show promises something for everyone, with suppliers catering to a wide range of sectors including hospitality, healthcare, education, and more.

“Our customers come from all walks of life—pubs, takeaways, schools, aged care facilities, and beyond. We’re proud to be a one-stop shop, and this event highlights the incredible variety we offer,” Patrick added.

Beyond the business of foodservice, the event is poised to make a significant economic impact on the local community. With an expected influx of over $500,000, the Trade Show is set to benefit the Whitsundays in more ways than one.

“We’ve got 150 suppliers staying in town for the week, engaging with our local businesses and teams. It’s a much-needed boost outside the typical tourist season, and we’re proud to play a role in supporting the local economy,” Patrick emphasised.

While the event is business-focused, it’s also going to be a day of fun and excitement. Attendees can look forward to cash giveaways, amazing prizes, and a major prize draw at 12:30pm. To win, make sure to register via the Whitsunday Foodservice website and be present at the event.

The prizes this year are nothing short of spectacular. Imagine a luxurious reef sleep for two with Cruise Whitsundays, a lavish two-night stay on Hayman Island, or the grand prize—a trip for two to the prestigious Tuttofood International Food Exhibition in Milan, Italy!

“This Trade Show is a rare gem in North Queensland and especially in the Whitsundays. It’s a unique opportunity for our customers to engage with top suppliers and experience the best our industry has to offer. It’s going to be a fantastic day filled with great food, valuable connections, and happy customers,” said Patrick.
