Restaurant Manager/Trainer

Own it While it's Hot

 Every job promises good culture and opportunity. But here, they're real and yours for the taking.

We've been serving up golden-crumbed, pan-fried schnitzels since 2007, using a traditional Polish family recipe. Yup, we've sure grown in that time - from a small family business into a nationwide franchise But the passion and care we put into crafting each schnitzel hasn't changed, even if the wallpaper has. If good food, good people and good service matter to you, you owe it to yourself to give it a crack at our place.
