About the role

Central Bites Group operates a portfolio of contemporary casual-dining and quick-service concepts popular with the CBD lunch crowd and after-work diners. This outlet in Tanjong Pagar serves fast-casual Asian-fusion dishes with a focus on speed, consistency and high-quality customer experience.
