Are you a hospo unicorn? 🦄

You dial in espresso before the doors open. You know the regulars’ orders and the day’s numbers. You can make a matcha that stops traffic, then fix the POS mid-rush without breaking a sweat.

We’re Tofu Monkey, and we’re opening our first café, bakery and tofu bar in Darlinghurst this December. We’re looking for a Venue & Beverage Lead to:

☕ Coffee with Pablo & Rusty’s Pablo & Rustys Coffee Roasters, plus matcha, iced and signature drinks
🐒 Lead and grow a small, high-energy front of house team
📊 Run the venue day to day: rosters, stock, systems and numbers
💡 Dream up new drinks and specials that get Sydney talking

Already a venue manager? Brilliant. A senior barista or café supervisor ready for the next step? We want to hear from you too. Unicorns aren’t born, they’re made.

You don’t need to like tofu. You just need to love great coffee, great people and great hospitality.

Lead the team. Create the drinks. Elevate the experience. Make tofu famous.

Apply via SEEK Australia slide into our DMs, or tag the unicorn you know and if they are successful we will give you a free lunch every week for a year 🙌🐒

Are you a Head Chef in Sydney? Or do you know someone that is? Read on…

Okay so we’ve been quiet for bit… but we’ve been busy looking for a place to launch Tofu Monkey in and it’s taken a bit longer than expected. But Monkey’s don’t give up 🐵

Everyone knows how hard it is to find a decent place to rent in Sydney and it’s just the same for a place to serve delicious tofu. 🙈

But YAY for 🐒 it looks like we’ve found a home to move into in Darlinghurst and we are now on the hunt for a Head Chef to join the team and get us started.

You’ll find the ad on SEEK Australia or if you slide into our DMs we can have a chat and we’ll send you the link to apply.

If you know a looking for a new challenge flick them this post (and tag them in the comments) because if they end up getting the job we’ll give you a free lunch every week for a year!

🐒 WARNING: Tofu Monkey is looking for a Chief Marketing Officer 🍌

Ideally someone slightly unhinged (professionally).

You’ll need to:
⚡ love food culture
⚡ understand the internet
⚡ enjoy startup chaos
⚡ know how to build hype
⚡ and believe tofu deserves main character energy

We’re not looking for someone to “manage social media”.

We’re looking for someone to help build a cult brand from the ground floor.

The role?
🐒 unpaid initially
🍌 equity involved
🚀 Sydney-based ideal
🌏 16 stores in Australia with global ambitions

Most of our co-founding team came from one LinkedIn post.

Which means this post might accidentally change someone’s life too.

👀 Curious?

The full job ad is now live on LinkedIn.

Go find it. 🍌

Team Tofu Monkey is busily working through all the feedback from the Taste Sessions atm… sweeter, thicker, crisper, less spicy, more spicy, more crunch, more veggies, “can we build our own” - don’t worry we are reviewing everything to ensure that the menu at launch is 🤩 WOW

If you have any ideas about how we should be serving tofu then please let us know, a slide into our DMs is just fine 😃

🐒 Meet the monkeys building Tofu Monkey 🍌

Professional chaos coordinator. Career & life coach turned tofu evangelist. Big vision, big energy, occasionally too many ideas before breakfast. .wright.coach

Fashion brain, finance brain, design eye. The man responsible for making sure we don’t scale into something ugly, boring or off-brand.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Anu — Chief Community Officer

🤖 Parthiv — Chief Technology Officer
Data nerd. Automation enthusiast. Quietly figuring out how to make tofu smarter, faster and more scalable.

💰 Alex — Chief Revenue Officer
The Profitability Architect. The man making sure the monkey business actually makes money. Revenue, margins, growth and scaling without losing the plot.

⚙️ Greg — Chief Operating Officer
Turning tofu-fuelled delusion into actual stores, systems and operations. If something needs building, fixing or scaling, Greg’s probably already on it. .caleo

🍜 Chef Kenny — Chief Food Officer
The flavour wizard making tofu the main character. Big taste, fast ex*****on and zero tolerance for boring food.

One LinkedIn post.
One slightly unhinged tofu idea.
Now somehow… this.

For lovers, the curious and converting the sceptics…

We got first glimpse of a lease today and reckon we will be open in time for World Tofu Day on July 26 - manifesting good things with the real estate gods this weekend 🧘‍♂️

World Tofu Day is observed annually on July 26th, including in 2026. This day celebrates tofu as a versatile, nutritious, and sustainable plant-based protein, encouraging people to explore its health benefits and culinary uses. It was initiated to promote a healthier, more compassionate, plant-based diet.

The debate continues… are you team sweet or team savoury?

Tofu. Done right. 369,726,366 combinations to try!

You missed Chef Kenny’s freshly made Tofu Fa at last week’s Taste Sessions where we shared our menu in development with more than 100 people to get feedback on what should make it through to our first Tofu Bar coming in July

11/05/2026

With 16 signature tofu bowls to choose from or a complete build your own option you can go sweet, savoury or something inbetween.

The Tofu Monkey Troop is exhausted but we couldn’t be happier 🥳

More than 100 people came along over the Taste Sessions this week and gave their honest opinions about our menu in development.

16 signature tofu bowls presented, more than 1500 serves, some shared some snatched 😂 for solo consumption and some requests for seconds.

We’ll share the results in more detail with you shortly there’s literally thousands of comments to digest.

In the meantime just one big thank you to everyone in Sydney that showed up and offered their support… you’re all officially fabulous and we hope you enjoyed the time as much as we did.

Love ya, bye for now and have a great Sunday evening 😘
