GYG was founded in Sydney in 2006 by New Yorkers and childhood best friends Steven Marks and Robert Hazan. Steven and Robert had a vision to build a restaurant business that had the speed and convenience of fast food but to re-invent the fast-food category by serving high quality food fast, healthy, and fresh Mexican food! From day 1, GYG’s values have not changed; It’s all about the food; Make every guest love us; Got your back; Be Real; Got you back; It’s up to us.
GYG is committed to continually building our strong company culture and employee experience by putting pride and passion into all we do while respecting and developing our crew. From the first drive thru in 2015, to menu innovations like Breakfast, the ‘Minis' range and 100% clean, skin-on fries, to a market leading app for guests to pay & order ahead and earn loyalty points, we are on a mission to reinvent the way the masses eat fast food! Today GYG operates over 230 restaurants across Australia, Singapore, Japan and here in the United States.
We would love you to consider a career with us!
