Frequently Asked Questions

General FAQ

We offer both ‘in stock’ items and items ‘special order In’. This will be indicated in green above the add to cart button. If an item has a # at the end of the code it usually means that it will need to be ordered in as a special item and may take additional days to arrive. 

Many venues come to us after being let down by poor design that looks good on paper but creates real‑world workflow and operational issues.

We design kitchens with function first. Our team understands hospitality operations, equipment, and service flow — so every layout is built to improve efficiency, staff movement, compliance, and long‑term performance.

Simply put, we design kitchens that work in service, not just in drawings.

Yes — Click & Collect from our Hamilton distribution centre at 714 Kingsford Smith Drive. Stocked items are ready within 4 business hours of ordering. Orders placed after 3pm are typically ready the following business day. Bring your order number and a vehicle suitable for your load — warehouse staff reserve the right to refuse vehicles that can’t safely transport the goods. All refrigeration must travel upright.

Hospitality Superstore takes full upfront payment (including freight) on all ordered items when you choose to pay with a credit card.

When you place an order that contains any large item (which freight quote is required), we will pre-authorise your card, with full payment being captured at the point of fulfilment of the order.

Hospitality Superstore uses industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and encryption technology to ensure any sensitive information passing over the internet during transactions is secure.

A 1.5% credit card surcharge will be automatically applied on (only) large or heavy items (for example, catering equipment) at the checkout page. Information regarding this surcharge will be displayed on the applicable product and checkout pages. Alternatively, you may choose to pay by ‘bank transfer’ to avoid this surcharge.

All prices displayed or quoted on our website are exclusive of GST by default. GST will be charged in accordance with the relevant regulations in force at the time of the checkout process.

There is a fixed fee for shipping dangerous goods (e.g. oven cleaning chemicals) to locations outside of Brisbane (and interstates). Information regarding this surcharge will be displayed on the applicable product and checkout pages.

A Cash Account means you pay at the time of purchase — credit card, bank transfer or physical cash. A Trade Account gives you approved 30-day credit terms, billed monthly. Trade accounts require an ABN and a credit application. If you’re ordering frequently, a Trade Account keeps your cash flow cleaner.

Stock levels are displayed on each product page. If the item says “In stock” there is products available.
