JAM has won the both the Contemporary Australian Restaurant – Informal and Breakfast Restaurant categories in the Queensland and Northern Territory Savour Australia™ Restaurant & Catering HOSTPLUS Awards for Excellence 2015.

So….A BIG THANKYOU from the JAM Team to our loyal customers who continually support all that we do. We could not achieve this type of success with you!!

More than 200 local restaurants, cafes and catering businesses were judged across 38 categories, with the winners announced at the Awards for Excellence ceremony held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The Awards for Excellence is a nationally recognised, independently judged awards program that celebrates exceptional service and culinary talent across Australia. The Awards for Excellence is an authoritative guide to Australia’s best restaurants and caterers, recognising and promoting industry best practice.

The Awards for Excellence, now in its 17th year, is judged by an independent team of trained judges who anonymously visit the venues to determine the winners. The scores are based on the entire dining experience from food to the customer service experienced when the judges anonymously dine.

R&CA CEO John Hart says, “The winners should be proud of their achievements. The culinary experiences in Queensland and the Northern Territory are world-class. The winners tonight make a significant contribution to the industry and our reputation as a destination for great food.

“The winners have been rigorously reviewed in one of the most objective awards systems, which looks at the entire dining experience, rather than a single food or service dimension,” Mr Hart says.

JAM will now be in the running to compete with other region finalists at the National Savour AustraliaTM Restaurant & Catering HOSTPLUS Awards for Excellence to be held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on Monday 26th October 2015.

R&CA represents thousands of restaurant and catering businesses operating across Australia.

About 1,500 members are reviewed in the Awards for Excellence each year, which is not only a great promotional and accreditation program for businesses, but also assists consumers in identifying some stand out establishments.
