Our purpose

Helping people achieve their dreams

At SilverChef our purpose is to help people achieve their dreams. This includes our people, our customers, our partners, and the communities where we live and work.

Together, we’ve dreamed some mighty big dreams and made them happen. We’ve helped more than 60,000 people start and grow their dream businesses and invested more than $1.5 billion into the global hospitality industry along the way. Our dream is to help millions more customers achieve theirs.

We encourage our people to dream bigger on everything from career progression to work life balance. At SilverChef, if you can dream it, you’ll be encouraged to do it – whether that’s a kicking off a cross-functional project, inventing a way to make our products better, or dreaming up a new way to create impact for our communities.

Uplifting the communities where we life and work is in our DNA. We’ve lifted millions of people out of poverty with our 20-year partnership with Opportunity International. We’ve been a Certified B Corp since 2015, and with new initiatives like our Community Program, we’re supporting organisations that use food service to help communities achieve their dreams. Our commitment is to continue building our positive impact as we grow globally.

At SilverChef, we help people achieve their dreams. That’s our purpose. That’s why we show up every day. For our customers, our partners and most of all, for each other.

For our customers

More than 40 per cent of our customers don’t qualify for finance from traditional lenders.

This means four out of every 10 SilverChef customers might not be in business without our support.

Just one way we’re delivering on our purpose of helping people achieve their dreams!

For our people

Our people are more than employees.

Each has their own aspirations, abilities, and preferred ways of working.

We take a human-centred approach to our people’s wellbeing, flexible working arrangements, and learning and career development — knowing that a dream job looks different for everyone.

For our partners

SilverChef has a worldwide network of more than 2,000 equipment dealer partners.

We’ve proudly invested more than $1.5 billion into the hospitality industry globally, making it possible for our customers to get the equipment they need; and our equipment-dealer partners to grow their businesses.

For the community

SilverChef has partnered with Opportunity International Australia for over 21 years. We’ve proudly fundraised, educated and supported Opportunity’s efforts to lift people out of poverty.

We also provide each of our people with two paid volunteering days a year to support local community groups.

In 2022 we launched the SilverChef Community Grants Program and a product specially tailored to not-for-profit organisations, called Community-Equip.

These initiatives help community groups that use hospitality and food services to train, empower and support disadvantaged members of our communities.
