About the company

Our mission is simple: we introduce craft and delight to everyday eating. We believe that eating well should be easy - that food can taste good, feel good, and not break the bank. We take the best ingredients and turn them into delectable meals customers can't help but eat (like a habit).

We're one of the first cloud kitchens in Manila and have served 1M+ meals through digital-only brands - and we're only getting started. We're looking for bright, passionate folks to help us change the way Filipinos eat

  • Demonstrated knowledge of kitchen equipment, fixtures, and workflows with the ability to give thoughtful input to kitchen layouts.
  • Prior exposure to contractor, vendor, and lease negotiations.
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, especially while handling multiple competing priorities.
  • Comfortable meeting tight deadlines and planning for unforeseen circumstances.
  • Excellent communication skills (English and Tagalog).
  • Proficient with Google Office Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.) and/or Microsoft product counterparts.
  • Fresh graduates are welcome to apply.

What you'll be doing

  • Owning kitchen and store launches end-to-end, including site selection, lease negotiation, mapping store layout, managing contractor bids, managing equipment vendors, overseeing construction, application of necessary permits, and assessing launch success.
  • Performing market research to evaluate sites, size up demand, and estimate capital expenditure.
  • Maintaining a rigorous project tracker to keep all relevant stakeholders updated on progress.
  • Delivering launches on-time and within budget.
  • Sourcing kitchen equipment and fixtures from multiple vendors to assess value and cost.
  • Handling administrative work such as documentation, contracts, securing permits, etc.
