Caterboss Partners with Local Restaurants to Help New Food Start Ups Thrive in Carlow

Caterboss, a leading catering equipment supplier based in Tullow, has launched an expanded support program aimed at helping new food businesses across Carlow get open faster and with far less financial pressure. The initiative brings together expert advice, flexible support, and access to one of the most complete ranges of kitchen equipment in Ireland. This includes everything from small tools to full kitchenware collection.

A key part of the program is the Caterboss sixty forty plan, a payment structure created specifically for new and growing commercial customers. The plan allows the business to pay sixty percent of the equipment cost up front and then spread the final forty percent over twelve weekly payments. There is no interest applied, no extra charges, and no hidden fees. It is treated as simple business to business credit with a zero percent cost to the customer. This has already proven to be a major advantage for start-ups working hard to balance cash flow while fitting out their kitchens.

Caterboss says that many of the new operators who contact them have strong ideas and solid menus but face early financial strain due to the cost of essential equipment. By offering the sixty forty plan with no interest of any kind, the company aims to remove one of the biggest barriers that prevents new food creators from getting started.

The company is already partnering with several Carlow based restaurants and take away businesses. The support includes guidance on choosing the right tools, advice on kitchen layout, and help with selecting equipment that matches the style and volume of the planned menu. Caterboss has long been known for providing personal support to small businesses, and this expanded initiative is an effort to build on that reputation.

“Carlow has a vibrant food scene” Ciaran Kilbride, CEO offers. “It has a growing number of independent operators entering the market. We want to help these new ventures to succeed and our sixty forty plan is only one part of a wider strategy to encourage growth in the local food sector”.

With interest in specialty coffee, grab and go concepts, and modern take away options rising sharply, Caterboss believes this initiative will play a meaningful role in supporting a new generation of food entrepreneurs across the region.
