Rockpool Dining Group (which owns Fratelli Fresh) is currently moving resources from across the group to scale up the program and support the large, expected volume.

Rockpool Dining Group Chief Executive Officer Thomas Pash said the service launched on Saturday, 21 March, with a fantastic response from customers. “We are working closely with suppliers and our grocery list is locked in for the first few weeks,” Mr Pash said. “After that, we will reassess stock availability on a weekly basis and update our online grocery list accordingly, including adding new items and house-made meals.”

Deliveries will be made to the Eastern suburbs, South Sydney, Sutherland Shire, Sydney CBD, Inner West, North Sydney, Manly and Brookvale (See website for specific suburbs.)
