Who We Are

At Daniel's Group, we don't just make donuts—we create deliciously craveable moments that bring joy to people's lives With beloved brands like Daniel's Donuts, Doughnut Time, Mr. Donut, Bay Bakery, and Anytime Donuts, we're expanding faster than a box of jam-filled donuts disappearing in a staff room. 

We're known across Australia for our mouth-watering range of donuts, pies, barista coffee, shakes and sweet treats—crafted with the highest quality ingredients and served with a smile.

The 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, 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

We're also proud to say our donuts have hit the big screen — with recent collaborations alongside Netflix (Stranger Things) and Universal (Wicked –Part 2). Beyond our own range, we also manufacture for some of Australia's favourite brands including Bistro Morgan, FROPRO, Mason Baker, and Tasty. At Daniel's Donuts, we're all about creating iconic treats that make every moment a little more fun.

We're also super pumped to recently this year to be announced as the official donut provider of the AFL, serving club-themed donuts at Marvel Stadium and across the country through our online store.

Things never stop here at Donut land, and we need someone to move as fast as we do

And now, we're looking for an experienced Key Account Manager to help drive that next chapter of growth.
