Rudimentary started with an idea to transform an unused lot of land into something of significance for the area of Footscray. The lot had been in the family for over a decade but wasn’t used for much except parking. But once four shipping containers had been plastered together, an open, sunlit cafe, was created where once there’d been nothing.
This unique concept cafe has been blended with a community-style garden, where visitors can smell the fresh herbs that might also be in one of their dishes.
Whether the Melbourne sun shines (or more likely, not), Rudimentary is always busy. We speak to Jake, the venue manager about how he uses Ordermentum to make his job that little bit easier.
