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.

Over 40 per cent of our customers would struggle to secure finance through conventional lenders. This equates to four out of every ten SilverChef customers who may not have been able to grow their businesses without our assistance. It's one of the ways we are actively working to help people achieve their dreams.
Our staff members are not just employees; they are unique individuals with their own ambitions, skills, and preferred work styles. We adopt a human-centered approach to prioritize the well-being of our team, offering flexibility in work arrangements, and fostering opportunities for learning and career growth. We understand that a dream job varies for each person, and we embrace this diversity.
SilverChef boasts a global network comprising over 2,000 equipment dealer partners. We take pride in having channelled more than $2 billion into the worldwide hospitality sector. This investment enables hospitality businesses to access essential equipment; and supports the growth of our dealer partners' businesses.
For more than two decades, SilverChef has been in collaboration with Opportunity International Australia, actively engaging in fundraising, education, and support for Opportunity's mission to alleviate poverty.
Additionally, we offer two paid volunteering days annually to each of our team members, empowering them to contribute to local community organisations.
In 2022, we introduced the SilverChef Community Grants Program and a specialised product, Community-Equip, designed specifically for not-for-profit organizations.
These initiatives play a crucial role in assisting community groups that leverage hospitality and food services to train, empower, and provide support to marginalised people within our communities.
