Commercial & industrial kitchens
Over the last few decades, industrial, commercial, and commissary kitchens have been a core component of the F&B industry in Australia. They specialise in producing vast quantities of food in an efficient, low-cost manner, supplying ingredients and components used by food vendors and outlets across the country.
Despite commercial kitchens being a fantastic business venture, they do not come without risk; commercial kitchens are expensive and require rigorous, hands-on management to maintain sufficient quality and quantity.
Chef Collective provides you with all of the resources required to open and design your very own commercial kitchen in two major cities in Australia – Melbourne and Brisbane. We do this at a bargain in comparison to traditional commercial kitchen formats.
Our commercial kitchen business model promises you convenience and reduced complications through the management of licensing, equipment procurement, layout and organisation, workflow, inspections, and much more. At the end of the day, we focus on handling the technicalities so that you can prioritise designing and producing high-quality and amazing food to reap the rewards of operating out of a commercial kitchen.

Before we joined Chef Collective, our operation required us to book commercial kitchens to prepare ready-made meals for our online business. These kitchens were poorly equipped, unreliable and quite expensive. Our business now is streamlined, everything is simple and we have all the equipment along with great support to operate. Our business has grown exceedingly since adopting the cloud kitchen concept.

Mass food production
