The word on the street
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.

What is a Commissary Kitchen?
Success for you is success for us. Our commercial kitchens are ultimately designed for one thing: to help you grow and increase profit.
Mass food production
Commissary kitchens (also known as industrial or commercial kitchens) are a type of kitchen specialised in mass-producing, and preparing large quantities of high-quality food and produce for food vendors and consumption in restaurants. They are larger than typical restaurant kitchens as they are designed to keep up with massive orders made by clients.
Lower burden, costs
Whilst these mass-production facilities are quintessential to the success of their clients, opening a commercial kitchen comes at an enormous financial and bureaucratic burden to its owner.
You cook, we’ll take care of the rest
Chef Collective’s Australia-based commercial kitchens provide industrial commissary kitchen owners the solution to various issues. In short, all restaurateurs need to do is provide the raw materials, and we will take care of the rest. The entire design and construction is handled by our specialists, and all you have to do is move into your commercial kitchen and cook!
