The TOP 10 BEST Food in Harlaxton QLD

In February 2015, Monkey Business Catering was launched. We started with a garage to commercial kitchen conversion, a handful of second hand equipment and $10,000 cash. My stash of domestic equipment was even sacrificed to the cause! For the first two years, I worked full time as the manager at Monkey Business Catering and part time as a business trainer for Aurora Training Institute. It was a crazy, intense period. The 2020 COVID shutdown from March to September was another testing time. We saw a complete cancellation on bookings within the first two weeks of the shutdown being announced. So we grieved for a month and then made a plan for business development – converting our lean start-up systems into ones that would work well for us for the next 10 year (of those my favourite was going from paper recipe cards to digitised recipes viewed on iPads). Knowing that our business needed diversification and change to survive the strange post-COVID economic times, we purchased iCooked (a frozen ready to eat meal business) in May 2021, employed a Head Chef (the wonderful Terri), had Kristina come to work in the business full-time and moved from our converted garage kitchen into a 260 square metre warehouse in Harlaxton. The journey has been varied and challenging with many joys but also unavoidable and often heart-breaking moments. God has been a constant through them all.

Originally a roasting house, Zarraffa’s Coffee first began operating from the backstreets of Southport on the Gold Coast, QLD. Back then, customers would come in for their daily coffee and enjoy a fresh brew while perched on a hessian bag full of green coffee beans that were yet to be roasted. From that first store in Southport on the Gold Coast, the Zarraffa’s Coffee business has evolved into an award-winning enterprise, now serving customers in over 70 locations across Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales. Leading the way in retail coffee innovation, Zarraffa’s Coffee developed its popular drive thru store concept in 2009, providing customers with quality coffee and added convenience. The company’s expansion to the West Coast in 2012 enabled Zarraffa’s to introduce its unique blend of coffee to a whole new region of coffee lovers. The company now operates its network of stores and drive thru locations on both sides of the country, with expansion planned in these key geographical areas in the coming years. Zarraffa’s Coffee has fostered a culture where everyday customers can access great coffee and be a part of this Australian success story. A commitment to product, service, freshness, convenience and a genuine love of coffee, is what makes the Zarraffa’s Coffee experience ‘more than just a cup of coffee.’
