Elior UK launches Street Kitchen Collective

Elior UK has announced the launch of Street Kitchen Collective a collection of own-
brand concepts and street food partners.

The Street Kitchen Collective concept is a collaborative effort between Elior’s food development team, operations team and client partners to create more varied food offerings.

The collective has launched with six Elior concepts and five independent partners.

These include Jollof Mama, Makes Miso Hungry, Urban Rajah, Indian street food; Nina Parker, and Shu Han Lee.

The Street Kitchen Collective will be rolled out across Elior’s stadia, education, university, and B&I sectors.

Pilot schemes with a B&I client in the finance sector witnessed increased footfall and a 16% uplift in sales on a street food pop-up day.

Michal Seal, marketing and commercial Director, Elior said: “We’re incredibly proud of the Street Kitchen Collective. It injects fun and a world of international flavours into our catering service offering, whilst supporting local businesses. The Street Kitchen Collective adds excitement to the lunch calendar and gives our customers a chance to enjoy flavoursome foods in a relaxed, casual environment.”

Yoko Nakada, founder of Makes Miso Hungry, added: “I am honoured to be one of the partners chosen for Elior’s Street Kitchen Collective. This concept is so exciting. It is great that Elior is supporting local food businesses and customers can experience authentic Japanese food such as mine. It’s clear consumers are excited by new culinary experiences and flavours.”

Elior UK is part of Elior Group which operates worldwide with annual revenues of €3.7bn (£3.2bn).
