Kingsleys Australian Steakhouse

What Kingsleys Australian Steakhouse does

Kingsleys Australian Steakhouse is a single-location modern Australian steakhouse founded in 1994 and operating at 29A King Street in Sydney's CBD old merchant quarter. The company sells dine-in food and beverage service across lunch and dinner six to seven days a week, with a menu centred on premium Australian beef, seafood, and classic sides prepared on a long-seasoned grill, complemented by a curated wine list and full bar offering. Beyond the core restaurant, the business operates a functions and events division with three tiered venue configurations — Private Dining (30 seated / 40 cocktail), Semi-Private (10-120 guests), and Venue Exclusive (120 seated / 250 cocktail) — supported by tailored dining and beverage packages for corporate and private clients. Gift vouchers are sold through the MyGuestList platform and event enquiries are managed via Tripleseat software integration.

Kingsleys makes money almost entirely through on-premises consumption: per-cover transaction revenue from individual diners plus higher-yield set-menu and beverage-package revenue from corporate functions and private celebrations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; reservations are accepted online for parties up to 12, with larger groups routed through phone, email, or a dedicated functions enquiry channel. Marketing is executed through the company website (which carries a "Table Talk" editorial blog and "What's On" events page), organic social media on Instagram and Facebook, and direct sales outreach to corporate and event clients. Kingsleys is a subsidiary of Eviva Group, a diversified Australian hospitality operator whose portfolio also includes Steersons Steakhouse and Georges Mediterranean; the brands cross-promote via shared digital footers and links.
