What’s the current mood in Melbourne’s hospitality scene: are we seeing recovery post-pandemic, or is the sector still crawling back to solid ground?

For diners who simply turn up for a meal, what hidden challenges should they know about?
What exactly does it mean to be an independent hospitality owner in Victoria today? Why do a small group of people have such a strong – some might overwhelming – presence in Melbourne, in particular?
