For more than 15 years, Time Out has been running awards that celebrate Australia’s hospo industry with ceremonies in both Sydney and Melbourne. Their local editors and writers have been eating their way around both cities to give readers the recommendations they’re searching for, while also working to spotlight amazing business owners, chefs, bartenders, sommeliers, front-of-house and back-of-house professionals who work hard to deliver special dining experiences.
Plate It Forward has been built on the ethos of creating equal opportunity around the table through deep employment outcomes for people facing barriers to employment, as well as our Global Food Diplomacy Program.
Our restaurants showcase the skills, talent, and food from so many cultures and are bright beacons in the community, allowing you to taste social change. To have Time Out Sydney recognise this last night at the Time Out Food & Drink Awards, with Kyiv Social receiving the inaugural Time Out Editors’ Pick – Impact Award, is bloody brilliant and a timely reminder of the good in the world.
Kyiv Social has delivered 10,076 hours of employment to 28 newly arrived Ukrainians who fled the recent invasion.
Thank you to our incredible team, every one of our customers, and @timeoutsydney for this incredible recognition and honour
