In the bustling world of club restaurants and venues, where every ingredient and decision counts, sustainability has emerged as a key ingredient for success. Among the many considerations, cooking oil stands out as a factor not only for environmental responsibility but also for enhancing the bottom line of these exclusive venues.
The journey towards better sustainable practices begins with understanding the impact of cooking oil on the environment and your club’s bottom line. Historically, cooking oils have been disposed of in general waste or drains, contaminating landfills and waterways. Unknowingly, many venues often incorrectly dispose of used oil, not at any fault of their own. Similarly, improper oil selection can shorten the lifespan, increase the frequency of oil changes, and lead to product waste, all while risking staff injury due to handling and transferring hot oil.
Cookers’ oil management system offers a smarter way of managing cooking oil, with tangible benefits for club operational efficiency and safety. For instance, storage units that house cooking oil completely replace the need for disposable packaging, significantly reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills, while oils designed for frying provide greater stability at high temperatures, resulting in longer fry life and reduced oil usage. These efficiencies result in cost savings, contributing to the financial health and resilience of venues.
Adopting a sustainable bulk solution also limits the risks of employee injury. The Cookers system eliminates the need to lift and carry heavy or hot oil. Our smart system means oil can be moved between fryers simply by pumping the fresh oil into a fryer through a dedicated food-grade hose.
Another benefit is the ease of used oil collection, providing club restaurants with the knowledge that their used oil is properly handled and ethically recycled, improving daily operations. Safer practices go hand-in-hand with sustainability, resulting in the health and longevity of staff.
By embracing sustainable practices, clubs can align themselves with eco-conscious members and guests, attracting a growing segment of environmentally aware diners while doing their part for the environment. Cooking oil can form an imperative piece of the sustainability puzzle for long-term success in the hospitality industry.

Laverton woman thanks ‘manifestation magic’ for Keno win
A Laverton woman shared she was left thanking the universe after she scored a $60,000 Keno Classic 8 Spot prize at Club Laverton in the weeks leading up to last Christmas.
“It was a big surprise! Especially coming up to Christmas, it’s perfect!” she cheered.
“Do you want to hear something really funny? I just wrote in my diary the day before winning, ‘Thank you, universe, for my Keno 8 Spot win’. Then it really came true!
“I’m a firm believer in the law of attraction and manifestation, and I love affirmations!
“It was awesome seeing all eight numbers pop up on the screen.
“I’ve had a few wins in Keno over the years. It’s like the stars align for me when I play - it’s my thing!”

“What an incredible win for our patron! It’s always great hearing these winning stories, and now we have another one to share with our patrons,” he said.
“We’re thrilled for our customer, and we hope to see more Keno winners in our venue soon.”
All eyes on a winning FY26
Keno’s National Partner Manager Luke Harrison said he couldn’t wait to see which Victorian clubs welcomed the next big Keno winners.
“Last financial year, players at Victorian clubs celebrated some impressive victories,” he said.
“A key highlight has been the growing popularity of Keno’s Bonus and Replay features among club patrons. This trend reflects how venues are successfully connecting with their customers, sharing updates on jackpot increases, promotional offers, and game enhancements.
“When players opt into Keno Bonus, they unlock the chance to multiply their winnings by up to ten times, while the Replay option adds another layer of excitement.
“Many players are still unaware of these features, making it vital for staff to start conversations and educate them on the full range of Keno possibilities!”
Mr Harrison said the solid Keno performance at Victorian clubs last financial year laid a strong foundation for continued success in FY26.
“Clubs across Victoria are embracing fresh approaches to elevate the customer experience, and Keno’s rising popularity is playing a key role in that journey,” he said.
“There’s also a wide array of Keno resources available to clubs, from eye-catching point-of-sale materials to engaging promotions, all designed to keep the game front and centre.
“As the new financial year unfolds, Keno is looking forward to celebrating more big wins for Victorian club patrons, and more success stories for the clubs that host them.”
