The Hospitality Award covers employees who work in bottle shops that are operated by a hotel.
The Retail Award covers employees who work in a bottle shop that isn’t operated by a hotel.
Queensland
In Queensland a bottle shop can only be operated by a hotel because of the liquor licencing laws in Queensland.
This means that only the Hospitality Award can cover an employee who works in a bottle shop in Queensland. The Retail Award can’t cover bottle shops in Queensland.
