Award coverage for employees working for a sushi vendor depends on the employer’s industry and the employees’ duties.

Fast Food Award

The Fast Food Award covers employees who make food and serve customers in the fast food industry. A sushi vendor is in the fast food industry if they take orders for, prepare and sell meals, drinks and snacks for customers to take away. This includes businesses such as:

• take away sushi shops
• sushi shops in food courts
• sushi stands in supermarkets or department stores that aren’t operated by the main retailer.

Example

Lenny makes sushi at Fiona’s Sushi, a sushi stand inside a large supermarket.

Fiona’s Sushi rents space inside the shop. Customers can order and pay for freshly made sushi and salads at the Fiona’s Sushi counter.

The business also has a fridge where customers can pick up sushi that was made and packed on-site and pay for it at the Fiona’s Sushi counter or at the supermarket’s cash registers.

The main business of Fiona’s Sushi is preparing and selling meals for customers to take away.

Lenny and Fiona’s Sushi are covered by the Fast Food Award.
