Job Description
Who We Are
Swiss Butter is a casual 'dineresque' type steakhouse that serves 3 mains: Beef filet, chicken breast & Salmon filet. All 3 mains are served with our secret Swiss Butter sauce, a mesclun salad, a freshly baked baguette, chili flakes, and your choice of fries or a baked potato. We also serve a molten chocolate fondant and a pain perdu for dessert. We serve a selection of wines but highly recommend our house wine which is young yet superbly balanced.
As a young restaurant, our primary focus is perfecting our service and offerings to the large number of clients we get every month. We want to grow the brand and open up the doors to Swiss Butter in every major city in the world.
We are a community-driven brand. Everything we do is focused on building a connection with the communities in the cities that our restaurants open up in. That starts with the people we work with. If you are passionate about F&B, and more importantly passionate about your community, then we might have just the place for you to learn, build and grow.
