For schools

Private and government schools

From the tuckshop and P&C canteen to boarding house dining rooms and catering for school events, we plan, equip and supply every kitchen on your campus.

  • Demo Kitchen Testing: try equipment in our Hamilton showroom before you commit
  • Delivery & Commissioning: delivered into position, set up and commissioned with minimal disruption to your school

  • Ongoing Supply: consumables, packaging, crockery and more on one account

TUCKSHOP & CANTEEN

Whether it is run by the school or your P&C, a well-run tuckshop needs to look professional, operate efficiently under lunch service pressure and hold up to daily use. We supply and fit out everything, from the customer-facing display through to the back-of-house kitchen.

Front of house:

  • Refrigerated display cabinets and counters
  • Heated display units and pie warmers
  • Service counters and canteen fitouts
  • Disposable packaging & consumables

Back of house:

  • Commercial fridges and freezers
  • Combi ovens, fryers and sandwich presses
  • Commercial dishwashers and prep benches
  • Crockery, cutlery and serveware
  • Cleaning and janitorial products
  • All on one account, one invoice
Private schools

Multiple kitchens, one partner

Many independent schools run more than one kitchen: a main tuckshop, a senior school canteen, boarding house dining, staff rooms and catering for sport days, open days and formal events. We look after every kitchen on your campus on one account, with consistent equipment across each site and a team that knows how your school runs.

For TAFE and training

TAFE, trade schools and hospitality training

We love encouraging students to pursue their dreams in hospitality. We equip the training kitchens, cafés and bars where the next generation of chefs, baristas and hospitality staff learn their trade, on the same commercial equipment they will use in industry.

Training kitchens

Commercial training kitchens

TAFEs, registered training organisations and trade schools need kitchens that work like the real thing and stand up to a full day of classes. We plan and supply training kitchens, training cafés and bars, from cook lines and combi ovens to coffee machines, bar equipment and warewashing, so students learn on the same equipment they will use in industry.

Plan a training kitchen with our Food Service Design team →

  • Teaching cook lines with combi ovens, ranges and fryers
  • Training cafés with commercial coffee machines and grinders
  • Bar and beverage service training areas
  • Demonstration benches with clear sight lines for students
  • Smallwares, uniforms and consumables for every class
  • Equipment demonstrations in our Hamilton test kitchen
High schools

Home economics and hospitality classrooms

More high schools are teaching hospitality and food technology as a real pathway into industry. We help schools build teaching kitchens with stainless steel student workstations, commercial-grade equipment and layouts made for hands-on learning, like the new teaching kitchen at Springfield Central State School.

See the Springfield Central State School kitchen →

  • Student workstations with cooktops and sinks
  • Commercial-grade ovens and appliances
  • Stainless steel benches, sinks and tapware
  • Areas for hospitality certificate training
  • Crockery, cutlery and kitchenware for practical classes
Education & Training Day

Inspiring the next generation of chefs

We love encouraging students to pursue their dreams in hospitality. In August 2026 we opened our Hamilton showroom for a free Education & Training Day with around 10 hospitality students from Marist College Emerald.

Students cooked alongside our chefs on commercial combi ovens and fryers, had hands-on barista training, learned bar and beverage service, and explored the technology shaping the future of cooking, from smart ovens to automated drinks machines like CanGo.

Days like this are why we do what we do: real equipment, real skills, and young people leaving inspired about a future in hospitality.
