Food and Hospitality Week, 18-20 May Melbourne, combines four key industry shows, providing opportunities to see and order new equipment, technology and systems. This must-attend event for the industry combines the Foodservice Australia Show, Commercial Kitchen Show, Restaurant Technology Show, and the Pizza Pasta and Italian Food Show. The combining of all these popular shows in the one location over the same days, offers operators across the industry the opportunity to be introduced to new innovations and be inspired with new ideas and equipment for their business.
Described by organisers as a ‘landmark event’, the expo includes a trade show, social activities and a conference element. An event for restaurants, pubs, cafes, takeaways, food production and processing, hotels, in-house kitchens, caterers, suppliers, cleaners, and others across the entire sector. Registration includes one ticket to cover all four shows with the event being held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 18 to 20 May 2025.
Equipment, technology, systems, uniforms and many other goods required by the industry will be showcased by exhibitors. For businesses wanting to be ready to place an order at the event, speak with us about arranging financing ahead of the date.

Financing Support for Hospitality, Food Service Industry
We fully understand that the hospitality sector is being particularly impacted at the moment as customers cut back on dining out with current cost-of-living pressures. Whether in pubs, clubs and restaurants, at local cafes and takeaways, or in the catering and events sector, many operators are doing it tough. We know that any decision to upgrade or replace systems and equipment will be a major one and one that must be financed affordably.
We support the hospitality sector with specialist services to source the most competitive interest rate loans and structure solutions that do not pressure cash flow. Supporting operators to acquire and install the equipment and systems they need for their business.
To finance assets such as equipment, machines and tech systems, operators have their choice of asset acquisition credit facilities. These include Chattel Mortgage, Lease, Rent-to-Own and Commercial Hire Purchase. Leasing can be extremely attractive to businesses that need to upgrade equipment quite regularly and for those that do not want large assets posted to their balance sheet. Chattel Mortgage, at the lowest interest rate in asset finance products, can offer a very affordable solution for assets that are held over a longer term. Discussing the credit facilities and their suitability to an individual business with an accountant is highly recommended.
Asset finance is secured at a fixed rate of interest and over a fixed repayment term to provide a fixed monthly repayment schedule. All credit product features such as balloons, residuals, and tax deductions are available when arranging finance through Jade.
The Food and Hospitality Week shows include exhibitors of many non-asset goods and services, such as uniforms, software, and other systems. Loans are available for these expenses through Unsecured Business Loans and Lender Overdrafts.
We have a large selection of lenders that includes the major banks as well as specialist hospitality sector non-bank lenders. While your Jade broker will be selecting the lender that is best aligned with your business profile, we will handle negotiations through your bank if preferred.
Get Financing to Order at Food and Hospitality Week
To be ready to place an order for new machines, equipment and tech systems at the shows, business owners can apply for loans ahead of the event. Pre-approved loans involve being approved by a lender for a given loan amount before the goods are purchased.
Businesses estimate how much they will need for their loan and provide us with as much detail as possible on the goods to be financed. We process the application to the conditional approval stage and finalise the specifics after the purchase is made. If no purchase is made, any offer simply expires at the end of the validity period.
