Founded in 2018 in Marshalltown, Johannesburg CBD, WillsKitchen began as a small canteen service operating from an IT tertiary school. What started as a modest venture quickly gained recognition for its exceptional quality and service, leading to rapid expansion beyond its original location.
Over the years, WillsKitchen has evolved into a comprehensive culinary solutions provider, serving diverse clients across multiple sectors. We have successfully catered events of all scales, from intimate gatherings to large corporate functions, elegant weddings, and vibrant market festivals. Our expertise extends beyond mere food service to creating complete experiential dining environments.
The brand portfolio has expanded to include several distinct concepts: WillsCoffeeBar for premium coffee experiences, WillsEvents for comprehensive event solutions, WillsBlack for luxury dining experiences, ThePopUp By Will for flexible mobile setups, and Le Cigar Bar for sophisticated social environments.
Despite its significant growth, WillsKitchen maintains its commitment to quality, innovation, and personalised service that characterized its humble beginnings. The company now stands at a pivotal point, positioned for dramatic expansion with plans to extend its reach across South Africa and potentially beyond, bringing its unique blend of culinary excellence and atmospheric dining to new markets and communities.
WillsKitchen's journey represents a classic entrepreneurial success story from a single location serving a tertiary institution to a multi-brand culinary enterprise capable of handling diverse catering needs while maintaining the personal touch that initially distinguished them in the competitive food service industry.
