Take 5 with our Grill’d Partner, Reece 🫶

In the countdown to Father’s Day, our Grill’d Partner, Reece took five with our team to share his experiences and advice as a working parent.

“With the support of a well-led restaurant through my Assistant Managers and exceptional care from my leaders, I was able to take the time I needed to adjust to a new life with a baby. I now have two children, and both times I have had a good experience integrating back into work; so much so that more babies might come!

If there was one piece of advise Reece would give to working parents, he says it all comes down to gratitude.

“You get busy, and the day goes by so quickly you forget to take a moment to appreciate your partner and the beautiful children you have created. Make time for this moment, no matter what happens.
Over the past seven years, Reece’s journey with Grill’d has been overflowing with high energy and high reward.

“My number one career highlight was taking a call from Sacha, our National Operations Manager, after a particularly tough year on a personal note to congratulate our restaurant’s performance. As a reward, I was offered a trip to Singapore with some of the highest performing Restaurant Managers across the country; the trip was incredible.

“The second would have to be when I was given the opportunity to become a Grill’d Partner. From hearing my nomination, doing my presentation to the Executive Team, and being formally signed up on the ownership pathway, this was, and continues to be, an amazing experience.

“Rounding out my top three highlights, in 2022 we won the WA Restaurant of the Year Award. It was a testament to the hard work my team did and continues to do, and a very proud moment for me.

To feel good in the moment and beyond, Reece puts his own twist on a Grill’d classic.

“My go-to is a Summer Sunset on a Traditional bun, with egg mayo instead of herbed mayo and hot chilli relish instead of tomato relish.”

At Grill’d, we’re all about endless opportunity. We encourage our team to choose their own career path, and we’re here to make it happen 👉 https://careers.grilld.com.au/our-roles
