Founded in 2015, Impact Kitchen is the brainchild of former personal trainer and nutrition expert, Josh Broun, and Frank Toskan (co‑founder of M·A·C Cosmetics).

In addition to our 7 restaurants located within Toronto’s core, Impact Kitchen fuels many of the city’s major sports teams and top athletes through our catering and culinary programs and partnerships.
