Functie

WHO ARE WE?

Our goal is to make great food and have fun while doing it.

We’re a food start-up that makes everything in-house.
From our dough to dumplings and from kimchi to sauces for our festivals or clients.

This allows us to constantly push our own product and, hopefully, improve it. Thanks to this quality we’ve got partnerships with top dogs: Colruyt Group, Tomorrowland, Paradise City, Coeur Catering and many others.

Davai started with us, Ruslan and Maybritt, two (back then) students that wanted to bring plants back in plant-based instead of mimicking meat. Dumplings are perfect for this: easy to prepare, can pack a lot of veggies and very cool to work with. We started at our kitchen table, making 500 dumplings per day.

Now we’ve got our own atelier where we make 30.000 dumplings per shift.

WHAT’S THE VIBE?

If a street food restaurant and food-startup had a baby, it would be our cousin. We believe in a flat structure because working together is easier and more fun if you feel that everyone is your equal.

That’s why everyone in Davai has worked in the kitchen, mopped floors, made dough and dumplings. Everyone has their responsibilities and departments, but no one is too ‘high up’ to help someone else when it’s needed. We are a small team, so we should be able to lean on each other!

The workload and atmosphere are very diverse. Our spring-summers are peak moments with festivals, events and production all flowing through each other. In autumn-winter we plan for next year and are mostly working in the office + kitchen.

WHO SHOULD YOU BE?

A big part of the future of Davai will be in events, festivals, OOH-experiences pop-ups and maybe even permanent locations.

These projects need people that feel excited about doing this and want to deliver something cool and exciting for the team and for the people involved. That’s why this open position is about finding that key person that can kickstart & structure these projects and later lead team(s) to keep them running well.

You don’t need to become our family and we won’t ask whether you’re a “rockstar agile superhero”.

We’re looking for someone who has experience with project management and loves working with people in higher pressure environments.

This means horeca, events, start-ups or any experiences you can link to these traits!
