Our Kitchen Day Partnership
New Zealand hospitality is built on people. The chefs, waitstaff, bartenders, baristas, venue owners and teams who show up every day to create great experiences for their customers.
That's why Goodman Fielder Food Service is proud to partner with Kitchen Day, a storytelling platform created to celebrate the people behind hospitality and strengthen the connections that help our industry thrive.
Founded by Dominique Fourie McMillan and Chris Thompson, Kitchen Day brings hospitality professionals together through a podcast, industry events and a growing community built on shared experiences, learning and support.
The Podcast
At the heart of Kitchen Day is a podcast dedicated to the people who bring hospitality to life.
Featuring real conversations with venue owners, chefs, bartenders, baristas, sommeliers and hospitality professionals, the podcast explores the stories, challenges, successes and ideas that shape our industry.
Authentic and unfiltered, it provides a platform for voices that don't always get heard and helps foster conversations that matter.
The Events
Kitchen Day's monthly events create opportunities for hospitality people to connect away from the day-to-day pressures of service.
Each event features a guest chef sharing their personal journey before attendees come together over a shared meal. Open to hospitality professionals and free to attend, these gatherings help build meaningful connections across the industry.
The Community
More than a podcast or event series, Kitchen Day has become a growing community of hospitality people supporting one another in work and in life.
By creating spaces where experiences can be shared openly, Kitchen Day helps strengthen the relationships, resilience and sense of belonging that make New Zealand hospitality special.
Why We Support Kitchen Day
At Goodman Fielder Food Service, we're committed to supporting hospitality beyond the products we supply.

We're proud to support a platform that helps hospitality professionals share their stories, build relationships and inspire one another.
