The NU way to cleanse your body
Nutrition Station was the brain-child of fitness enthusiast Jake Farragher and offers ready to go food and drinks directly targeted at health conscious consumers looking to adopt and adhere to a positive lifestyle.
After the success of the first concept kiosk store in Rouse Hill in 2012, this booming business now has 25 stores across NSW, VIC & QLD with further plans for expansion in the works.
Working in close collaboration with leading Nutritionist Moodi Dennaoui, Nutrition Station has designed and implemented a menu focused on providing wholesome, nutritionally beneficial products to consumers.
“I want our health food to be honest,” says Jake. “I want our customers to know that no matter what they buy in a Nutrition Station store, it is genuinely healthy. No exceptions.”

With a rapidly growing foodservice business, Jake attended the Fine Food Expo in 2013 seeking the latest industry trends and technology. It was there that they experienced a RATIONAL CookingLive Demonstration at the Comcater stand, which introduced Jake to the equipment that allowed them to take their business to the next level.
Working closely with Paul Ayyash from Petra Equipment and Comcater’s Sharyn Dale, the Nutrition Station kitchens were fitted with a RATIONAL SelfCookingCenter® combi oven, commercial ranges from Trueheat, Mareno Grills, Cambro’s range of Storage and Shelving, Ice Machines from Brema, a Menumaster MXP Speed Oven and Vitamix blenders.
“The Vitamix Blender’s take a hammering, they pump out close to 100 shakes a day and we have never had one break down. We have tried lots of other brands and they are so noisy and sound like rockets about the take-off,” says Jake.
“The RATIONAL has been a big help to our business; it gets used for everything. It has definitely helped us reduce our labour costs. We can do things like 10 trays of chicken at once. It has allowed us to do things with efficiency and consistency.”
“We are not trying to sell niche products designed only for athletes and people who go to the gym. Nutrition Station aims to be a mainstream food option for everyone – and that is why we have made sure it is delicious. We will not compromise on taste,’ says Jake.
With no signs of slowing down, it would appear the equipment mix at Nutrition Station has fueled them for years to come!
