FISHBOWL was founded in 2016 with a simple goal - change fast food, change the culture. Specialising in made to order salads with an Asian-inspired twist, we sought to become a platform that could empower people to make healthier decisions by turning salads into a lifestyle. We’re changing the idea that fast, accessible and affordable food comes at the expense of authenticity, nutrition and environmental responsibility. Now with 50 stores across Australia (and counting), we are always looking for great people to join our team in stores, operations, and head office. If you want to play a part in changing the culture, get in touch with us: jobs@fishbowl.com.au In 2024, we launched our first overseas restaurant in NoHo, New York City, THISBOWL. Were building an exceptional team and if you want to be part, contact us at: jobs@thisbowl.com

Founded in the heart of a pandemic in Adam Goldbergs kitchen, PopUp Bagels began as a simple mission fueled by passion and dedication—to craft unmistakably perfect bagels with no frills, just the essence of simplicity... crispy crusts, soft crumb centers, the right size, and an ideal proportion of seeds. What started in a small kitchen quickly evolved into a culinary sensation, winning over locals taste buds and hearts, as well as winning Brooklyns BagelFest Best Bagel award two years in a row. Today, PopUp Bagels is a name that spans several neighborhoods, including five towns in Connecticut, iconic NYC spots like Greenwich Village, the Upper West Side, and the Upper East Side, as well as Roslyn in Long Island. Our reach also extends to seasonal locations in East Hampton, Palm Beach, Wellesley, and beyond, with exciting new locations on the horizon. As we continue to expand, our dedication to bagel-making allows more people to experience our simple yet distinct offerings. Our bagels are served fresh from the oven, hot and whole - and we do not make sandwiches. Loyal fans love to grip, rip, and dip right on the street, or bagels can be taken home or to the park to enjoy it in endless ways. For more information on our story and locations, check out PopUp Bagels on Instagram or our website, where every bagel crafted is a testament to this commitment to perfection.
