About Oporto
What Oporto does, its mission and values, and what it's like to work there in Australia.
Oporto is an Australian fast-food chain serving Portuguese-style flame-grilled chicken and burgers, founded in Bondi, Sydney, in 1986. It is owned by Craveable Brands — the group behind Red Rooster and Chicken Treat, held since 2019 by the private-equity firm PAG — and runs through franchising, with around 180 restaurants operated by independent franchisees, concentrated in New South Wales and present across the other states.
Because the network is largely franchised, most jobs are at restaurant level and are advertised by the franchisee that runs each store. Frontline roles — grill and kitchen cooks, plus front-counter and drive-through crew — are commonly casual or part-time under the Fast Food Industry Award, often a first job, and step up to shift supervisor and restaurant manager.
Craveable Brands hires above the restaurant for operations and franchise support, supply chain, marketing, property, technology, finance, and people functions. Applications are handled directly through Oporto and its franchisees; CareerTrees links through to those official listings.
