Our story
Zizzi started in 1999 with one oven and a big dream of doing Italian food, our way. We don't do bland food, people or restaurants. You'll know us for bubbly pizza, fresh pasta and good times.
But behind every new dish, seasonal special and guest favourite is a team making it happen. That's where you come in.
About The Role
As our Food Development Coordinator, you'll help bring new menus and food projects to life across more than 130 restaurants.
Working closely with our Head of Food & Drink and wider Food Team, you'll coordinate menu launches from concept through to restaurant rollout. You'll be the person connecting suppliers, Marketing, Operations, Training, Quality Systems and Supply Chain, making sure projects stay on track and every detail is ready for launch.
A big part of the role is managing product, recipe, allergen, nutrition and costing information across our systems. You'll help ensure the right information reaches the right people at the right time, supporting safe, successful and commercially strong menu launches.
You'll also get involved in menu tastings, product evaluations and food development activity, working alongside the team behind some of Zizzi's best-loved dishes.
