THE JOB

WHO IS FONDA?
In Mexico, ‘Fonda’ is a home that is opened up as a restaurant to the local community. We offer a delicious,
fresh Mexican inspired menu that is always served with a side fun and good vibes in a well-designed space.

Fonda was founded in Richmond in 2011 by two mates - Tim McDonald and Dave Youl. Tim was a lawyer
and Dave was a fireman when they both set off to Mexico to develop the concept and get inspiration all over
Mexico. The vision was to develop a menu of Mexican street food dishes designed to share, utilising the
quality, freshness, and variety of Australian produce.

However, the vision for Fonda extended beyond the menu. After a series of negative experiences working in
some undesirable workplaces, Tim and Dave were committed to building a hospitality team with a positive
and engaging culture. Our internal values are at the core of every decision, and our people are listened to,
respected and supported in their growth and development.
