Why Cambridge Street?
Tucked away in a quieter neighbourhood area, Cambridge Street resides in the Coorparoo suburb in Brisbane. Only 4km away from the central business district and home to over 16,000 residents, the area is prime for a delivery-focused kitchen. A nice, thriving local community in Coorparoo and nearby suburbs means that opening a virtual kitchen on Cambridge street opens your restaurant up to a whole new pool of customers you previously could not cater to. Position your business near the heart of Brisbane and start seeing delivery orders flow in like never before.
