About the Project
St Joseph’s Nudgee College is one of Brisbane’s largest boarding schools, home to around 325 boarders plus day students, sporting fields, a poolside café and a conference centre that seats up to 2,500. Feeding a campus that size, every day and across multiple kitchens, takes equipment that holds up and a supplier who’s there the moment something needs replacing. That’s the role we play. Hospitality Superstore looks after Nudgee’s day-to-day catering needs right across the grounds, from the main kitchen to the boarding houses, and we’re there for the upgrades and replacements as they come up.

Solution
Our work with Nudgee runs across the whole campus:
Main Kitchen, With 325 boarders to feed, the team needed to prep ahead and cool food down safely and fast. We supplied a blast chiller that’s sped up their pre-preparation and taken real pressure off service. We’re now working with them on the fit-out of the upgraded main kitchen.
Tuckshop, We upgraded the dishwasher, added a dedicated pot washer and a new pass-through machine, and replaced a ten-year-old 10-tray Rational combi oven with a 20-tray, doubling capacity for the busiest counter on campus.
Boarding houses, Across four house kitchens, we replaced the fridges and toasters the students rely on day to day.
Conference centre, Seating up to 2,500, the centre had been hiring in glassware and plates for every event. We supplied enough glasses, plates and cutlery to cover it outright, plus the storage to keep it all organised, so the hire bills stop.
Bede’s Café (poolside), Updated the under-counter dishwasher.
Sporting fields (the Flats), New drinks fridges to keep cold stock flowing on game days.
It doesn’t stop at equipment, either, we also supply Nudgee’s printed coffee cups and napkins, and handle replacement gear as it’s needed. It’s an ongoing, day-to-day partnership, not a one-off fit-out.
