The requirement
Temporary commercial kitchens for events were required across several Gold Coast venues during the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
The organising committee needed reliable catering infrastructure to support thousands of daily meals for athletes, officials and event personnel.
Facilities were required at Warner Bros. Studios, Coolangatta, the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre and the Athletes Village, with each location presenting different food preparation and service requirements.
Our solution
Mobile Kitchens supplied 10 modular commercial kitchens across the Gold Coast, supporting catering operations throughout the international sporting event.
The team had six months to source, convert and customise the modular units into Hotline Kitchens, preparation kitchens and food service kiosks.
The facilities supported multiple sporting venues, including boxing, table tennis, beach volleyball and aquatic events.
This project demonstrated Mobile Kitchens’ ability to deliver large-scale temporary catering infrastructure across multiple locations within a demanding event schedule.
