We are a passionate, people-first family business with a deep respect for Thai culture, authentic food, and creating unforgettable guest experiences. From our vibrant kitchens to our welcoming dining rooms, we believe the spirit of generosity should flow through everything we do – and that starts with our people.

· Long Service Awards – because loyalty should be celebrated
· Apprenticeships & Qualifications – learn as you lead
· Trips to Thailand – immerse yourself in the culture that inspires us
· No early mornings – we like our sleep too

You’ll thrive here as an Assistant Manager if you:
· Have a passion for real food and warm hospitality – our guests feel the difference
· Bring proven management experience – from branded or independent restaurants
· Take full ownership – of the restaurant, the team, the vibe
· Lead by example – coach, develop and uplift your team every day
· Are detail-obsessed – because great service is all in the little things
· Can stay cool under pressure – adapting with confidence as we grow
· Understand the business side – with a solid handle on financials

Above all, you care. About your team. About your guests. And about doing things the right way.
