About Subway
What Subway does, its mission and values, and what it's like to work there in Australia.
Subway is a quick-service chain specialising in made-to-order submarine sandwiches and salads. It operates in Australia entirely through franchising — each store is independently owned and run by a franchisee under the Subway brand, while the company provides the brand, menu, supply arrangements, and systems. Subway has one of the largest store networks of any fast-food chain in Australia, with well over 1,000 outlets across every state and territory.
Because the network is fully franchised, almost all jobs are at store level and are advertised and employed by the franchisee that runs each store. Frontline "sandwich artist" roles cover food preparation, serving, and point-of-sale, and are commonly casual or part-time under the Fast Food Industry Award — frequently a first job for students. These step up to shift supervisor and store manager.
A smaller number of field and support roles — covering franchise development, operations support, marketing, and supply — sit with Subway's Australian and regional offices. Applications are handled directly through Subway and its franchisees; CareerTrees links through to those official listings.
