    "We've setup a few cafes from scratch in the last few years. Every cafe site poses new challenges and obstacles in terms of equipment, floor plan, work flow, maximizing seating. You'd think after the fourth or fifth cafe it would eventually get easier. We find things which work for us, and we carry them on to the next business, and things which don't we look for alternatives.

    Chef’s Hat has been a staple since the first place we setup in 2011. CH put their name and reputation behind the products they sell. It literally is a one-stop shop for everything you'll need to open a cafe. Their crockery is second to none. Pricing is as always competitive. Communication from the sales team is impeccable"

  • Erez Gordon – restaurant owner, consultant & front of house specialist - Bishop Sessa
    “The restaurant game is populated with big-talkers but precious few who can do what they promise. Chef’s Hat has been, from the beginning, a restaurateur’s best friend. Accessible, dynamic and dripping with ideas. Restaurant openings are nightmarish enough but with Chefs Hat on your side the pain is considerably less. I wouldn’t dream of doing business without them.”
