In 2012, we took on our first construction site contract with Mirvac. We'd spent years in hospitality and knew good food — but what we found on site surprised us. Workers were surviving on vending machines and substandard food trucks. Nobody was treating them like they deserved a proper meal. So we changed that.
We built our operation around one simple idea: workers doing hard, physically demanding jobs deserve fresh, quality food at a fair price. Not afterthoughts. Not leftovers from a van. Thirteen years later, Hungry Outback and MyKitchen Café have served workforces of up to 2,000 people on some of NSW's most complex construction projects — including Multiplex's Western Sydney International Airport Terminal, Maitland Hospital, and John Hunter Hospital. The food got better. The team grew. The mission didn't change.
We go beyond just great food — we create complete dining experiences for every occasion.

"Running a multimillion-dollar construction site is a high-pressure job but knowing that My Kitchen Café is expertly catering for my workforce is one less thing to worry about. Their services reduced the need for my contractors to leave the site, helping to keep the project on track, as well as keeping them well-fed and motivated."
"We engaged Con and the team at My Kitchen Café to install and operate an on-site canteen at our Maitland Hospital development project. I chose My Kitchen Café because of their extensive experience operating construction site catering services in Sydney and NSW. I found working with My Kitchen Café to be an effortless and satisfying experience, which benefitted everyone working on site."
"My contractors really appreciated My Kitchen Café’s services. The high-quality menu was varied, tasty and catered for all dietary requirements. We also enjoyed the specials as variety is important on a long-term project. Best of all, the coffee was great!"
"My Kitchen Café provided on-site catering services to our Woolooware Bay project from 2017 to 2020. They regularly catered for hundreds of workers per day, providing high-quality food and exceptional service. I wouldn’t hesitate to engage their services again."
"My Kitchen Café has supplied full-service drink, snack and PPE vending machines for all of our projects. Installation was straightforward and provided our workforce with a useful time-efficient facility. We wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again and would always recommend them for any project looking for vending solutions."
"In 2020, we worked with My Kitchen Café to facilitate the employment of an Indigenous person with an intellectual disability in their café at the Multiplex Maitland Hospital project site. The placement was highly rewarding for the individual involved, enabling him to develop skills both personally and in the hospitality industry. As a result of the placement, he went on to gain full-time employment. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with My Kitchen Café on any similar project."
