Our Team Members are some of the most upbeat, positive and conversation-loving people you know. They are obsessive about the cleanliness of our space and the freshness, colour and quality of the food we serve. The team at iQ are cross-trained on Front of House and Back of House operations.

They thrive in a very fast-paced, open kitchen environment, are driven by guest experience and embody our core values : they’re passionate about sustainable food; they’re big dreamers; they understand the power of generosity and mindfulness; they’re driven by the details; and are inspired by art, design and music.

If this sounds like a team you’d want to be a part of and are interested in joining one of the fastest growing brands in the healthy hospitality space, read on for more details.
