Project Coordinator

Who We Are

From humble beginnings to Australia's fastest-growing donut empire, Daniel's Donuts is a sugary success story that's just getting started. With stores across the country, cult-like customer devotion, and a pipeline of innovation that never sleeps, we're not just about donuts — we're about delight.

At Daniel's, we're not just baking Australia's best donuts and pies—we're building a national sensation. From one iconic Springvale store to over 40 million donuts sold, we're scaling fast—rolling out into 7-Eleven stores nationwide and expanding our own retail footprint across the country.

Donuts don't stop here though. We also own iconic wholesale brands like Doughnut Time, Mr Donut, Anytime Donuts, and Bay Bakery, we're spreading sweet & savoury vibes far and wide. You'll find our treats stocked in some big names — Starbucks, Coles, Reddy Express, Woolworths, Ampol, Bunnings and BP — so whether you're grabbing a coffee, fueling up, or doing the weekly shop, a donut fix, or savoury treat is never far away

With rapid growth comes exciting complexity—and that's where you come in.
