Food safety consulting across Sydney's Inner West

Sydney's Inner West has one of the most diverse and innovative food scenes in Australia. From specialty coffee roasters and plant-based cafes in Newtown to neighbourhood restaurants in Marrickville and cafe-bakery hybrids in Surry Hills — the Inner West food scene is dynamic, independent, and predominantly small business.

AMES Food Advisory provides on-site food safety consulting to cafes and restaurants across the Inner West. Our approach is practical and business-aware — we understand the constraints of a two-person kitchen, the challenges of high staff turnover in food service, and the reality of building food safety compliance into a busy operation without dedicated quality staff.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer on-site visits for cafes in the Inner West?
Yes. All AMES Food Advisory HACCP plan development and gap assessment services include an on-site visit. For Inner West businesses, we typically schedule site visits within one to two weeks of the initial scoping call. On-site visits are essential for developing a genuinely site-specific Food Safety Program — we need to see your kitchen layout, equipment, and observe your food handling processes to produce a plan that reflects your actual operation.
Can AMES help with NSW Food Authority notification for a new Inner West cafe?
Yes. We guide new food businesses through the NSW Food Authority notification process, including helping you understand your business classification, preparing the required documentation, and ensuring your Food Safety Program is ready for inspection before you open.
