Career Meister's View
Saizeriya has over 1,700 restaurants across Japan and Asia.
This Melbourne store is the brand's first in Australia.
This role is designed for someone who wants more than a short-term casual shift.
Starting casual allows both you and the business to find the right fit — and for those who settle in well, the pathway to a permanent part-time contract brings the stability of set hours, annual leave and personal leave.
If you are looking for a longer‐term role where you can grow as part of a team, this is worth a serious look.
Saizeriya will manage the selection and recruitment process directly.
