Karma Kitchen

Our Hackney site hosted a very special collab between Up Collective x TERN - The Entrepreneurial Refugee Network this week ahead of their 'Test My Idea' event. 📍 The event offered TERN refugee entrepreneurs the opportunity to explore and unveil their food business ideas for the first time at the Shoreditch Exchange. It was amazing to chat with those taking part whilst they prepped their delicious food concepts in our shared kitchen. 🧑🍳

Scaling a restaurant chain comes with many challenges... Could central production units be the missing ingredient? ⬇️

This week we hosted both Nanny Bill's and The Athenian in the shared kitchen at our Bermondsey site. Both restaurant partners were there as part of Deliveroo's The Open Kitchen - an initiative to tackle the issue of underrepresentation of the LGBTQIA community in the hospitality industry. 🌈 As part of the event, aspiring chefs from the LGBTQIA community were invited to take part in a masterclass before cooking signature dishes that were available for delivery on the app. 🧑🍳 It was amazing to see so many people ordering and supporting this cause! Big shoutout to our internal team for this one 🙌 Jodie Grant, Roberto Sparta & Giulio Loreggian

Yesterday Karma Kitchen ran an 'innovation simulation session' with 20 experts in hospitality to discuss how disruptive infrastructure can help businesses🏃♀️ Run🌱 Grow 💫 and Transform. (Gavin Adair not at all sorry to have put you in the hot seat!)

Businesses using disruptive infrastructure like Karma Kitchen each have very different propositions. The thing they all share: ✅ They get what parts of their brand are most important to their customer journey right now ✅ and they are maximising those parts of their brand A big thank you to Oxford Brookes University for hosting us as part of the Hospitality Innovation Day, supported by the Department for Business and Trade and the Hospitality Sector Council.

Wimbledon... Home to the All England Club, The Wombles, and now Karma Kitchen. 🧑🍳 Find out more about our newest site below!

When a journalist at a national newspaper reaches out and explains he's interested in doing an investigative feature on one of your sites, many providers would be feeling the pressure. 😬 But we're not 'many providers'... We pride ourselves on our bright, colourful, and welcoming commercial kitchens. So we were delighted to have Tom Haynes from The Telegraph down to our Bermondsey location last week. 📍 We're on a mission to create communities that our partners love to work from and it's amazing to see this recognised in the piece. Go give Tom's and Eccie's thoughts a read below!

Location, Location, Location. 📍 We always run proprietary analysis on the demographics, delivery market and foodservice landscape of each one of our locations before purchase. So it's no surprise that our Wood Green site is loved by our partners. 😊 We have a limited number of kitchens now available at the site, so drop us a message if you'd like to find out more!
