Periodic surveys of selected service industries are undertaken in response to specifically identified user needs for data that support in-depth studies of individual service industries and/or activities for use in micro-economic analysis and policy formulation.
PURPOSE
The main purpose of this collection is to provide data in response to user needs for size and structure information (mainly financial and employment) on a regular basis, as well as selected activity measures on cafe, restaurant and catering services. It also provides data which feed into Input-Output tables and for annual benchmarking of economic activity by National accounts. This collection is also an essential input to the benchmarking of the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA). The specific data items required for the TSA are met through the standard data items collected from this survey.
The main external user of this survey is the Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources (DITR). Key requirements are estimates on the size and structure of the industry.
The survey's scope includes businesses that generate income predominantly from the provision of meals consumed on the premises, or from the provision of catering services at specified locations or events. These businesses are classified according to Class 4511 (Cafes and Restaurants) and Class 4513 (Catering Services) of the 2006 edition of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC).
