Assistant Kitchen Manager

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 on the hunt for bright, passionate folks to help us change the way Filipinos eat.  If you value your craft, are hungry to learn, and genuinely care for the teams you lead, read on!

• Proficient with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
• Willing to work in Bicutan, Taft, or Quezon City
