You always get the better price. Where a clearance or Partner Special is sharper than your member price, you get that instead.
How it works
Most schemes make you earn your way to anything worthwhile. This one gives you the step change on day one. Partner Specials sit alongside it.
On joining
The moment your membership is active, every line on the site reprices. No points, no qualifying period, no code to remember at four in the afternoon with a delivery to book. The price on the product page is your price.
Member pricing is the default across the range, not a promotion on selected lines.
Alongside member pricing
Suppliers bring us bulk buys, clearance and end-of-line stock, and it reaches the group before it goes anywhere else. A special is priced by what we managed to secure, independent of your member pricing.
You always land on the lower of the two.
What’s included
Supplier bulk buys, clearance and end-of-line stock, offered to the group before it goes anywhere else. Some are already as sharp as they go.
Applied automatically across the range, with no codes and no minimum order. Clearance, Partner Specials and special-order lines are priced separately — you always get the better of the two.
A named contact who knows your kitchen, your equipment and your order history. No re-explaining the site every time you call, and no starting again with whoever picks up.
Your orders, quotes, invoices, delivery status and current Partner Specials in one place. Pull a copy when your bookkeeper asks, and see where your spend sits without ringing anyone.
Commercial kitchen equipment delivered nationally, with freight quoted openly on every order so you can see exactly what it costs.
The buying group
Chefs Depot members buy as a single block. Every order adds to the volume we put through a brand, and volume is what moves a supplier — so the harder the group buys something, the better the price sitting behind it for every member. This is why the gap between our standard price and the member price differs by product: it follows what the group actually buys.
A single cafe ordering one under-counter fridge has no leverage with the brand behind it. Several hundred venues ordering that same fridge across a year is a different conversation entirely — and it is one we have on your behalf rather than yours.
Built for hospitality operators buying for a working kitchen — whether that’s one espresso machine this month or a full fit-out next quarter.

How we keep it straight
Our prices move when our suppliers move theirs, and member pricing follows the same day — up or down. There is no lag working against you.
Member pricing is applied by your account, not by a code you have to remember. The price on the product page is the price at checkout, on every line.
Everything you buy carries your full rights under the Australian Consumer Law, and manufacturer warranties apply in the ordinary way — membership sits on top of all of it.
Good to know
The questions members ask most, answered plainly. The full terms are linked below.
Member pricing is applied to your account automatically — every line reprices the moment your membership is active, with no code and no minimum order. What the group buys is what moves a supplier, so as combined volume on a brand or an item grows, the price behind it improves for every member. When our buying price improves, yours improves with it, the same day.
Where a clearance, end-of-line or Partner Special is sharper than your member price, you get the sharper one — never both.
Member pricing runs across our range. Clearance, end-of-line, Partner Specials, indent and special-order lines, freight, installation and third-party service are priced on their own terms. Where one of those is sharper than your member price, you pay the sharper one.
