What you can expect when you’re part of the FISHBOWL Fam: 

FISHBOWL is one of Australia’s fastest-growing food brands, offering fresh, made-to-order salads with an Asian twist. Founded in 2016 in Bondi, we have expanded to over 50 locations across the east coast of Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast). In 2024, we began our global expansion with the opening of our first restaurant in New York City (trading as THISBOWL). Our founding mission – to change the culture of fast food – continues to drive our team of quality-obsessed foodies as we grow.

So why join us? Well, we’re not your average ‘fast food’ brand—we’re all about doing things differently. If you love great food, leading with heart, and growing in a team that backs your growth, you’ll fit right in. We’re here to help you thrive, not just work.

Here’s what you can expect during our recruitment process:

1. Initial pre-screen call with our Recruitment team (10-15 min)
2. In-person trial with one of our Kitchen leaders – stepping into the action of our central kitchen (1 hour)
