Isabella is an Assistant Restaurant Manager at Grill’d Garden City, Queensland. But that’s not all she does. Grill’d has a flexible working environment which helps Isabella manage three sports while working full-time and studying a Master’s in teaching! 

 

How do you manage all your sports and studies while working at Grill’d? 

Grill’d is really flexible and supportive like that. My Restaurant Manager is really good at helping me juggle everything, giving me enough days off and working around my sport and study. My team at Grill’d is like a family and we all look out for each other. 

I think the only reason why I’ve been so successful in my sport and studies is that Grill’d is so flexible and it allows me to be me.

 

How would you describe the team at Grill’d?

It’s just like a family. We have our ups and downs as all families do. But it’s very supportive and we always look out for each other. We’re there to watch everyone grow and we want to push everyone to reach their goals. When I have my Team Members in, I’m always asking them how they’re going and what they’re doing. If there are any issues, I’m always there for them and my other Managers are always there for me. It’s really nice to come to work and feel supported. 

 

How has Grill’d helped you grow? What are some of the perks? 

The certificate as a Team Member was really great. I also completed another Certificate in Leadership last year. When we reach our goals we also receive little bonuses and we create rewards for our team, like free food! It’s the small things that can really make someone’s day. Especially for people studying at uni and living out of home, having a meal and rewards at work can really make their day!

What would you say to someone thinking about joining Grill’d?

It’s an amazing job. Working at Grill’d isn’t that hard, especially when you’re in an environment with your friends and playing cool music with lollies in the back. It’s a big vibe. Grill’d has made me really motivated because it’s so flexible and the people are really there to support you. ​​​​The managers and owners of Grill’d are amazing too. They really do want to make it the best environment for everyone and there is always someone looking out for you. You’ll learn, you’ll grow, you’ll have lots of fun and someone will always be there for you when you need them.
