The Hidden Kitchens Behind Your Food Delivery, with Harrison Stott | Ways to Wealth EP177

This week on the Ways to Wealth Podcast, Charlie speaks to Harrison Stott, founder of The Kitchen Collective, New Zealand's first cloud kitchen, with sites in Auckland and Christchurch. If you've ordered food on an app lately, there's a growing chance it came from a kitchen with no storefront, no dining room, and no sign on the door. Harrison runs the spaces where that food gets made, a kind of co-working office building, but for chefs and food businesses, where anyone from a meal-prep startup to a fried chicken brand can move into a fully fitted kitchen and start trading almost overnight. Harrison spent years in the UK chasing one question: how do startups actually work? He worked across out-of-home media, an AI company, an EdTech business teaching kids to code through Minecraft, and a cloud kitchen company that raised a quarter of a billion pounds. Then he brought the concept home, bought a building, fitted out the kitchens, and discovered the market he'd built for didn't actually exist here yet. What he did next is the real story. This is an honest conversation about being the only person who truly cares about your business, why he'd rather solve a problem than talk about it, and what it takes to stay sane when every single moving part runs through you.
