Australia's buying group for commercial kitchens
One venue on its own has no leverage with the brands it buys from. Together, our members order like a distributor — and every one of them gets the price that comes with it.
Who we are
Chefs Depot supplies professional-grade commercial kitchen equipment and consumables to Australia's hospitality trade. We're Australian owned, operated by Keenan Group Pty Ltd.
We started from a simple question: why should an independent cafe pay more for the same combi oven than a hotel chain? Brands give their best prices to volume. Most venues don't have it on their own.
So we built a buying group. Every member's order adds to the volume we put through a brand, and we negotiate on that combined weight. The harder the group buys a product, the better the price behind it — for every member, from their first order.

Get Partner Specials first.
When suppliers offer bulk buys, clearance or end-of-line stock, members see it before anyone else.
A quiet quarter doesn't cost you — your pricing holds for ninety days, then eases back gradually. And where a clearance price beats your member price, you get the lower one.

One price list, openly applied.
Member pricing comes off the same trade list our own team quotes from. When a supplier moves their price, yours follows the same day — up or down.
A person who knows your kitchen.
Members get a named account contact who knows your equipment and order history. No starting again with whoever picks up.
Quotes for big jobs.
Planning a fit-out? Add items to a quote and we'll prepare pricing you can take to approval or finance.
Fit out now, pay weekly.
Through SilverChef Rent-Try-Buy, you can rent equipment on a 12-month agreement, upgrade as you grow, or buy it and get 75% of your rental payments back as a rebate.
Trade pricing, ex GST.
Prices show ex GST by default, with a one-click switch to GST-inclusive.
Your rights stay intact.
Everything you buy carries your full rights under Australian Consumer Law, plus the manufacturer's warranty.
