FOOD IS THE HEART OF OUR BUSINESS!
Before we even opened our first store more than ten years ago, we cared about what Australians thought. And what you thought was that you deserved a better, healthier, tastier food option, regardless of what time of the day it was. Our family couldn’t have agreed more. Fast forward to today and 150 stores later, your thoughts have become our purpose - to create healthy, satisfying food, made fresh daily, using the freshest local ingredients. Because goodness in means goodness out. And we all want to feel good about what we’re eating.Our Soul Origin Training

Soul Origin is excited to announce the launch of their new catering platform, Catering by Soul Origin. Designed with you in mind, this new offering aims to take the stress out of event planning and provide good nutritious food for guests in a fun and engaging way. Working with Sydney based digital agency, Word of Mouth, Soul Origin have designed their new website to better showcase the menu offering and improve the customer experience. Director of Word of Mouth Natascha Williams said:
We're so excited to be supporting the growth of Soul Origin with their soon to be launched catering offering. Our partnership is a perfect fit of aligned goals and values, so this newest launch is the natural next step in what we know to be an incredible new offering into the market.
Soul Origin’s mantra is and continues to be that food brings people together and creates lifetime memories. Whether it be office parties or gatherings with friends and family, Soul Origin’s “good mood soul food” is the perfect addition to any event or occasion. Adam Neill, Soul Origin’s COO said:
This project has been a complete overhaul of the catering function of our business. Working with new agencies, our NPD team, supply chain, IT, and the marketing team, I think we have built a new offering that we can be truly proud of, implementing changes that are designed with a “customer first” mentality.
With a brand-new website also comes a new and improved menu that incorporates a range of brand-new vegetarian and protein-packed options alongside the delicious and fresh salad options that Soul Origin is known and loved for. The NPD team at Soul Origin have incorporated the flavours and ingredients of the in-store experience as a refreshed and premium event offering that includes a selection of sliders and perfectly portioned individual salads.
Soul Origin catering packages are designed to create simple, and stress-free celebrations and conferences so that the host can spend less time managing food and more time with their guests.
