Orkhestra is the group behind The Apollo, Cho Cho San, Olympus Dining, Baptiste & Tenjo Rooftop in Sydney, Greca and Yoko Dining in Brisbane, and The Apollo in Tokyo. It started in 2011 with one restaurant in Potts Point and a pretty simple idea: honest food, a room people want to linger in, and hospitality that feels genuine rather than scripted. Every one of our restaurants has its own soul, and that’s on purpose. What sits underneath all of them is a standard rather than a house style, so whether you’re on the floor at Olympus or on the pass at Greca, you’ll know what good looks like and you’ll have a team around you who care about getting it right. We look for people who remember a regular’s name, notice the table that needs something before they ask, and keep getting a little better every service. We obsess over our guests. We’d rather keep improving than wait for perfect. Everything we do should feel like it could only have come from us, so there’s no copying and no cutting corners. And we own it together, which means looking out for the people beside you and making their shift easier too. We’re big on growing our own. Plenty of our chefs and managers started on the floor or in the kitchen with us, and with Baptiste and Tenjo opening at Wunderlich Lane this month and Manly not far behind, there’s real room to move across venues, cities and roles. We put proper time into training, accreditations and leadership programs so people can build a career in hospitality, not just pick up shifts. If you love food, design and looking after people, come and work with us! You can see what’s open at orkhestra.com.au/careers, and if your role isn’t there, drop us a line at careers@orkhestra.com.au. Some of our best people found us before we’d even advertised.

Looking to book your next event? Rockpool Bar & Grill Sydney is Australias most beautiful dining room. Situated in the sensational City Mutual Building, a 1936 Emil Sodersteen-designed American style art deco skyscraper, the dining style is simple and uncomplicated perfectly wood fire-grilled meats and seafood from Australias very best producers a perfect match to what is Australias greatest wine list. With an emphasis on excellent produce and a precise and attentive service style, the adjoining bar is the perfect spot for pre or post-lunch and dinner drinks, or more relaxed dining experience. Our beef is sourced directly from the producers and dry aged on our premises. The dry ageing process is important as it brings a better flavour to the beef than that of the more common wet aging in cryovac, which in essence is really preserving the beef. This however takes a big commitment as we have many tonnes of beef ageing at any one time. We believe that the types of beef we have are representative of the best of their type in Australia. Blackmores Wagyu and Cape Grim Grass Fed Beef fit into the strict Rockpool philosophy of humane treatment to the cattle. There are no growth hormones used and no antibiotic feed supplements. This is a rare thing in Australia today, particularly with the standard lot fed cattle.
