Oliver's restaurant Fifteen, in Westland Place, London continued to train young adults who have a disadvantaged background for careers in the restaurant business until its closure on 21 May 2019.<ref>{{cite news|date=22 May 2019|title=Jamie Oliver restaurant chain collapse costs 1,000 jobs|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/business-48352026|access-date=19 February 2021}}</ref><ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/11/magazine/11Oliver-t.html;_r=1&amp;hp "Jamie Oliver Puts America's Diet on a Diet"], 11 October 2009.

The Fifteen Foundation opened further restaurants in [[Amsterdam]], [[Cornwall]] (May 2006) and [[Fifteen Melbourne]], Australia (September 2006). The Melbourne restaurant cut ties with Oliver in 2011. The London, Amsterdam and Cornwall restaurants closed in 2019 when his restaurant group went into administration.

In June 2008, Oliver launched a restaurant, Jamie's Italian, his first high street business venture, in [[Oxford]], England.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bighospitality.co.uk/Venues/Oxford-opening-for-Oliver|title=Oxford Opening for Oliver|publisher=BigHospitality.co.uk|access-date=2 June 2008|archive-date=20 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120620223504/http://www.bighospitality.co.uk/Venues/Oxford-opening-for-Oliver|url-status=dead}}</ref> At its peak, there were 42 Jamie's Italian restaurants in the UK.

In 2011, Oliver, an advocate of cooking meals from scratch and using local produce, caused controversy after it turned out the sauces used in Jamie's Italian in Glasgow were from an industrial park almost {{convert|400|mi|km}} away in [[Bicester]].<ref>[http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/sauces-at-jamie-s-italian-are-not-pukka-say-critics-1.1081389 Sauces at Jamie's Italian are not pukka, say critics], ''The Herald'' (Glasgow).

In 2011, Oliver set up Barbecoa, a barbecued meat-based restaurant with his friend, American barbecue expert Adam Perry Lang. There were two outlets, both in London, one in Piccadilly and a second in [[City of London|St Pauls]]. In 2014 the Piccadilly outlet voluntarily closed for 24 hours after hygiene inspectors gave it the second-lowest rating. ''[[The Times]]'' reported they had found mouse droppings, mouldy carcasses and out-of-date meat.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.com/travel/destinations/uk-travel/england/london-travel/jamies-dirty-little-secrets-exposed-9nwbh0hqxn7|title=Jamie's dirty little secrets exposed|last=Mattsson|first=Jules|date=9 May 2014|newspaper=The Times|access-date=10 May 2014}}{{subscription required}}</ref> In February 2018, JORG confirmed that they had "instructed a firm of [[real estate agent]]s to ascertain the potential value and market suitability of two of our sites".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43104488|title=Jamie Oliver in talks to sell restaurants|date=18 February 2018|access-date=18 February 2018|work=BBC News}}</ref> On 19 February 2018, Barbecoa Ltd went into administration, with Oliver immediately buying back the St Paul's site in a pre-packed agreement via a new subsidiary.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43121644 | title=Jamie Oliver closes flagship Barbecoa restaurant| work=BBC News| date=20 February 2018 |access-date=23 May 2019}}</ref>

In 2014, he partnered with [[Toronto]] restaurateur King Street Co. and executive chef Rob Gentile to open 10 planned branches of Jamie's Italian, including a location in [[Yorkdale Shopping Centre]]. The business collapsed in 2020.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://torontolife.com/food/inside-the-rise-and-fall-of-the-buca-empire/ | title=Inside the rise and fall of the Buca empire | date=22 September 2021 }}</ref>

In January 2017, chief executive Simon Blagden announced the closure of six restaurants in the UK affecting 120 jobs, at sites in [[Aberdeen]], [[Cheltenham]], [[Exeter]], [[Royal Tunbridge Wells]], and in London at [[Ludgate]] and [[Richmond, London|Richmond]].<ref name=":0" />

In January 2018, as part of an agreement with creditors to secure £71.5M of debt, JORG proposed to enter the UK company Jamie's Italian Ltd into a [[company voluntary arrangement]], seeking rent reductions on eight outlets and closing a further 12 in [[Bath, Somerset|Bath]], [[Bristol]], [[Bluewater (shopping centre)|Bluewater]], [[Chelmsford]], [[Harrogate]], [[Kingston upon Thames|Kingston]], [[Milton Keynes]], [[Reading, Berkshire|Reading]], and [[St Albans]], and [[Greenwich]], [[Piccadilly]] and [[Threadneedle Street]] in London. As part of the agreement, court papers revealed that Jamie's Italian had debts of £71.5m, including £2.3 million in wages owed to staff; £30.2 million of overdrafts and loans; £41.3 million owed to landlords, [[HM Revenue and Customs]], suppliers and other creditors; with £47 million of the debts covered by loans from [[HSBC]] Bank and Oliver's other companies.<ref>{{cite news |last=Gerrard |first=Bradley |date=9 February 2018 |title=Jamie's Italian confirms closures and rent cuts as part of rescue deal |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2018/02/09/jamies-italian-confirms-closures-rent-cuts-part-rescue-deal/ |access-date=18 February 2018 |newspaper=The Telegraph |via=www.telegraph.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Pathiaki |first=Katie |title=Jamie's Italian confirms it is undergoing CVA |url=https://www.thecaterer.com/articles/518985/jamies-italian-confirms-it-is-undergoing-cva |access-date=18 February 2018 |website=thecaterer.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Walsh |first=Dominic |date=18 February 2018 |title=Jamie Oliver chain has to tighten belt |url=https://www.thetimes.com/article/jamie-oliver-chain-has-to-tighten-belt-96mh56w2q |access-date=18 February 2018 |newspaper=The Times}}</ref>

Tony Blair acknowledged that this was a result of Oliver's campaign. Following the success of the campaign, Oliver was named "Most Inspiring Political Figure of 2005" in the Channel 4 Political Awards 2006.

===Books===
Oliver has published over 30 books. He is the second-best-selling British author, behind [[J. K. Rowling]], and the best-selling British non-fiction author since records began.<ref>{{cite news |title=Jamie Oliver to create ethical 'B Corp' from remnants of his empire |url=https://www.theguardian.com/food/2019/aug/23/jamie-oliver-to-create-ethical-b-corp-from-remnants-of-his-empire |access-date=23 August 2019 |work=The Guardian |date=23 August 2019}}</ref> {{as of|2019|February|}}, Oliver had sold more than 14.55 million books, generating just under £180m for the chef.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thebookseller.com/news/michael-joseph-publish-jamie-oliver-veg-cookbook-964886|access-date=19 August 2020|title=Michael Joseph to publish Jamie Oliver Veg cookbook}}</ref>

In 2023, Oliver released his first children's book "Billy and the Giant Adventure". A sequel, ''Billy and the Epic Escape'' was released the following March, depicted the same children as the first book on a fantastic summer vacation. Led by an Australian [[Indigenous Australians|Indigenous Australian]] education advocacy group, the sequel was sharply criticised for its representation of Indigenous Australians, and as being insensitive to the history of the [[Stolen Generations]]. In November, Oliver recalled the book and said he apologised for unintentionally causing offence.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Watkins |first=Ali |author-link=Ali Watkins |date=11 November 2024 |title=Jamie Oliver Pulls Children's Book Amid Criticism of Insensitivity |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/11/books/jamie-oliver-book-australia.html |access-date=17 February 2025 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>

==Charity work and campaigning==
Oliver conceived and established the [[Fifteen (restaurant)|Fifteen]] charity restaurant, where he trained disadvantaged young people to work in the hospitality industry. Following the success of the original restaurant in London, more Fifteens have opened around the globe: Fifteen Amsterdam opened in December 2004, Fifteen [[Cornwall]] in Newquay in May 2006 and [[Fifteen Melbourne]] in September 2006 with an Australian friend and fellow chef [[Tobie Puttock]].<ref name="Kids in the kitchen">{{cite news |date=17 August 2004 |title=Kids in the kitchen |url=http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/08/16/1092508353539.html |access-date=2 January 2012 |work=The Age}}</ref> Fifteen Melbourne has since closed, as has Fifteen Cornwall.<ref>{{cite news |date=20 December 2010 |title=Oliver's Fifteen bows out |url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/life/food-wine/olivers-fifteen-bows-out-and-a-new-cat-slinks-in/news-story/08d7d33684e0ce13d26046d966a8777d |access-date=6 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=12 December 2019 |title=Jamie Oliver's Fifteen Cornwall closes with the loss of 100 jobs |url=http://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/dec/12/jamie-oliver-fifteen-cornwall-closes-with-the-loss-of-100-jobs |access-date=19 February 2021 |website=The Guardian |language=en}}</ref>

In 2005, Oliver initiated a campaign originally called "Feed Me Better" to move British schoolchildren towards eating healthy foods and cutting out [[junk food]]. As a result, the British government also pledged to address the issue. His public campaign for changes in nutrition resulted in people voting him as the "Most Inspiring Political Figure of 2005", according to a [[Channel 4 News]] annual viewer poll.<ref name="nytimes.com" /> His emphasis on cooking fresh, nutritious food continued as he created ''Jamie's Ministry of Food'', a television series where Oliver travelled to inspire everyday people in [[Rotherham]], [[Yorkshire]], to cook healthy meals. Another television series is ''[[Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution]]'' (2010–11), where he travelled first to [[Huntington, West Virginia]] and then to [[Los Angeles]] to change the way Americans eat, and address their dependence on fast food.<ref name="nytimes.com" />

Oliver began a formal campaign to ban unhealthy food in British schools and to get children eating nutritious food instead. Oliver's efforts to bring radical change to the school meals system, chronicled in the series ''Jamie's School Dinners'', challenged the junk-food culture by showing schools they could serve healthy, cost-efficient meals that kids enjoyed eating.<ref>[https://www.thecaterer.com/news/foodservice/jamie-oliver-slams-government-for-not-supporting-school-meals-reform "Jamie Oliver slams government for not supporting school meals reform"], caterersearch.com.
