The requirement
Gate Gourmet required an airline catering kitchen expansion at its Brisbane and Melbourne facilities following the award of new airline catering contracts.
The company needed additional commercial food production capacity to prepare business class meals while maintaining existing catering operations.
The new facilities also needed to integrate with established kitchen workflows, supporting efficient food preparation, cooking and chilled storage.
Our solution
Mobile Kitchens designed and constructed purpose-built modular commercial kitchen facilities for Gate Gourmet across two Australian locations.
The projects delivered a combined 70m² of additional food production space, providing the capacity needed to support increased airline catering demands.
Each modular facility was configured to integrate with Gate Gourmet’s existing operations, incorporating commercial cooking equipment, blast chilling and refrigerated storage.
The installations demonstrate how modular commercial kitchen construction can expand high-volume catering operations without requiring a completely new kitchen facility.
Equipment and features
The airline catering kitchen expansion included:
- 2 × 12m Modular Kitchen Units – Additional commercial food production facilities.
- Commercial Fryers and Chargrill – High-volume cooking equipment.
- Frima Cooking Equipment – Commercial food production.
- 20-Tray Combi Ovens – Large-scale meal preparation.
- Blast Chillers – Rapid food chilling.
- Cold Rooms – Refrigerated food storage.
Together, the modular facilities delivered 70m² of additional catering infrastructure across Brisbane and Melbourne.
