The Kitchen Project has affordable commercial kitchen space for product development and a leading programme to help launch your business. We will train you in what it takes to make a successful food business, team you up with some of the best in the industry as your mentors, and help you get cooking in the kitchen. There’s a selection process and if you’re one of the businesses chosen, you’ll star

t a six-week induction followed by a 20-week development programme with a commitment of 9 hours per week. We are changing the foodscape in west and south Auckland by supporting local food entrepreneurs to grow and thrive. We want you to help us change the food that’s made, sold and eaten in these areas by making affordable, healthier, culturally appropriate foods available, so people have better choices to make.

The Kai Franklin Chef’s Table is a family affair – building community wealth while preparing young people for the real world 🍴

https://www.thekitchenproject.co.nz/product/kai-franklin-chefs-table/

Not only do we have 5 fabulous main street restaurants creating the menu and beverage list, we will also be looked after by the fantastic students from the Pukekohe High School Hospitality Pathway Course.

We gathered together just before the school holidays for a training session at 1 Roulston – it was fantastic to see the Pukekohe professionals take the young ones through their paces before their real world experience on the 20th April !
