Connected to our land, mindful of our impact.
Our philosophy is Aotearoa on a Plate: a celebration of whenua, people and place.
Our aesthetic is inspired by the untamed landscapes of our motu and our mission is to serve manaakitanga at scale while leading the way as New Zealand’s most sustainable caterer.

You’ll also establish and run our development bar at Orakei Bay and make this a space for innovation, education, and experimentation.
You’ll also lead sustainability initiatives within the beverage department — from local and ethical sourcing to using native ingredients, reducing bottle and can waste, and finding smarter, greener ways to serve.
Role starts January 19.

Has current DM certificate (and ideally experience creating Alcohol Management Plans and Special Licence Applications)
Has broad knowledge of drinks, from cocktails and wine sto our alcohol‑free options
