Restaurant and Catering Australia will be going ahead with their 2020 Awards for Excellence this year in a sit-down, black tie gala dinner.
Restaurant and Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence are held in each state to recognise outstanding businesses in the hospitality industry.
The R&CA are hoping to provide a platform for recognition in these unprecedented times, for the hard hit hospitality sector, with the SA ceremony being held on October 12 in the Adelaide Convention Centre.
Award finalists from South Australia have been announced.
