Caterlink completed a commercial kitchen fit-out for the Vietnamese Museum Australia in Sunshine, Victoria, in October 2026. With a short timeframe to deliver the project, the team focused on sourcing suitable equipment while working around the building’s existing services.

Caterlink was selected through a tender process, supported by the client’s satisfaction with a previous project and the team’s ability to work within the time available.

Planning for a short turnaround

From the outset, equipment lead times were a key consideration. Caterlink worked with its suppliers to source equipment that could be delivered within the project timeframe while meeting the client’s quality and operational requirements.

The project included back-of-house preparation, cooking and refrigeration areas. Major equipment brands supplied included LUUS, Skope and Hobart and AOM.

Working with existing services

The building’s services were already in place when Caterlink joined the project. The team planned the kitchen around these existing connections, keeping changes to a minimum.
Caterlink’s scope covered consultation, design, project management, equipment supply and installation. The result was a completed kitchen fit-out delivered within the available timeframe.
