About Foodwise Solutions
Foodwise Solutions is an Australian hospitality business that provides professional kitchen operations and culinary staffing, including for The Avenue Randwick, a high‑volume bistro and functions venue in Randwick, New South Wales. Job listings describe Foodwise Solutions Pty Ltd as recruiting chefs to plan, prepare, and cook menu items in a full‑service, quality‑driven restaurant environment with regular functions, indicating that the company is directly involved in day‑to‑day food service operations rather than purely consulting or software services.([au.indeed.com](https://au.indeed.com/q-chef-de-partie-l-canley-vale-nsw-jobs.html?utm_source=openai))
A charge from “NXT*FOODWISE SOLUTIONS Randwick AU” on a card statement most likely relates to food and beverage purchases or event/function charges processed through their point‑of‑sale system at a venue they operate, such as The Avenue Randwick. This could include dine‑in meals, bar tabs, group bookings, set‑menu events, or deposits and final balances for private functions handled under the Foodwise Solutions merchant account. Depending on the bank, you might see the payment processor prefix (e.g., “NXT*”) followed by the merchant name rather than the venue’s trading name, which can make the transaction look unfamiliar.
To verify or resolve questions about this charge, cardholders should first cross‑check the date and amount against any recent visits to The Avenue Randwick or other Randwick‑area dining or function bookings, including email booking confirmations and receipts. If the transaction still isn’t recognized, contacting the venue where the card was used (for example, by calling or emailing The Avenue Randwick) and asking them to search by transaction date and amount is usually the fastest way to identify the bill and obtain a copy of the receipt. If the venue cannot locate the charge or you suspect fraud, you should then contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction or request a card replacement as appropriate.
