Cooya Takeaway

23/08/2026

Update.
Saturday Port takeaway ran without us thanks to the awesome A-team we've put together. This allowed us to get stuck into the Cooya shop getting it ready to go hard again.
Now some bad news, Friday we ordered another 150kg of chips to see us through the weekend, its now Sunday morning and we have 18kg left, so once we run out of chips we will be closing until Tue. To prevent this happening again we've purchased another (4 doors) 2500 litres of freezer space which arrives through the week.
Also..... we're looking to reopen Cooya takeaway next week.

At Cooya and Port Takeaway shops we use the most refined & pure beef tallow you can get. Other places use toxic seed oils to cook your food in with zero nutritional benefit. Tallow on the other hand =
Nutrient Density: Provides fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) that assist with immune and bone support.Aids Absorption: Acts as a fat carrier that helps your body absorb vital nutrients from other whole foods on your plate.

I'd like to address an issue I have with some criticisms I've been getting by hopefully giving some perspective. Building and running a high output takeaway business can be comparable to building a race car, first you need to build the chassis to fit your engine, then you need to test and tune your race car, then alter it where needed, then you gotta find a team to race it. 1 or 2 people can't do it, it takes a team of professionals which requires money to pay them before you make money racing. But you don't build the team before you build the car. And to get the good drivers you must already have a winning car. Now we've built up 2 winning cars and nearly have 2 teams of professionals to race them both. More than that we've been honoured by some old school professionals offering to drive these bad boys with us, we will run these 2 teams hard and we will win races and the time will come that no one can compete against us. As we approach that time the entitled critics who demand everything yesterday, think it's ok to talk to people like s**t, have no manners or for some reason think FNQ is a suburb of Melbourne will have plenty of other places to eat with shorter wait times than ours.

So sorry people... we finally hit a wall one of went down with the flu the other went down with gastro before we could find staff to replace us. Doing 12hour days takes it toll.
This won't happen again. Back on deck Tue.
