Sous Chef | Greca

About The Apollo Restaurant Group
We create dining experiences that bring people together through food, design and genuine hospitality. Our restaurants include The Apollo, Cho Cho San and Olympus Dining in Sydney; Greca and Yoko Dining in Brisbane; and The Apollo Ginza in Tokyo. We’re also growing in Sydney with Bistro Baptiste and Tenjo at Wunderlich Lane.

Each venue has its own character, but the way we work is shared across the group. Obsess Over Guests means noticing the details and helping every guest feel welcome. Kaizen: Always Better is about learning and improving every day. Be Original means bringing a clear point of view to what we create. And Own It Together means taking responsibility, sharing what we know and helping the whole team succeed.

We want our people to feel proud of what they do, supported by the people around them and able to grow as the group grows.
