frequently asked questions
What is included in a cafe or catering starter pack?
Each pack includes a bundle built around one job. The Espresso Foundation covers coffee cups, lids and carry trays. Takeaway Essentials covers corrugated boxes, greaseproof wraps, paper bags and napkins. Drop-off Essentials covers bulk foil trays, cling wrap and commercial aluminium foil rolls. There are nine packs across cafe, takeaway and catering, so you pick the ones matching your service rather than building an order line by line.
Where can I buy catering supplies in Melbourne?
Unicorn Kitchenware at 200 Victoria Street, Richmond supplies catering equipment and consumables to venues across Melbourne, in-store and online. Order before 11am for same-day click and collect. Delivery across the metro can be arranged separately.
Do the starter packs include equipment, or only packaging?
The starter packs are packaging and disposables: cups, containers, wraps, bags, trays and disposable cutlery. Cookware, crockery, glassware and appliances sit in our main ranges rather than in the packs, so a new venue typically orders a starter pack for consumables and works through the category pages for the hard goods. Come into the Richmond showroom and we can put both sides of the order together in one visit.
Which starter pack suits a venue with plastic ban requirements?
