About Red Rooster
What Red Rooster does, its mission and values, and what it's like to work there in Australia.
Red Rooster is an Australian fast-food chain built around roast and fried chicken, founded in Western Australia in 1972. It is owned by Craveable Brands — the group also behind Oporto and Chicken Treat, held since 2019 by the private-equity firm PAG — and operates through franchising, with most of its roughly 360 restaurants run by independent franchisees across the mainland 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 — cooks, front-counter and drive-through crew, and delivery drivers — are commonly casual or part-time under the Fast Food Industry Award and are often a first job. These step up to shift supervisor, then assistant and restaurant manager.
Craveable Brands also hires above the restaurant, at its support office and in the field, for operations and franchise support, supply chain, marketing, property, technology, finance, and people functions. Applications are handled directly through Red Rooster and its franchisees; CareerTrees links through to those official listings.
