3 Days Left Business Finance Manager

About the company: Idea to brand journey George Bernard Shaw had once said “there is no sincerer love than love for food”. I guess that inherent love for food and that hidden desire to build a truly world class food brand always kept us thinking for that eureka moment. And that gave birth to Auntie Fung’s, a QSR brand on Asian street food in March 2015 in Bangalore. Much has changed in the last 10 years- from that first store in New BEL Road to 10 stores across Bangalore today (mix of dine-in restaurants and cloud kitchens). As we scale the brand aim to grow 3X over the next 24-36 months and become a multi city brand, building a robust financial backend is critical and becomes the spinal cord of the business as we run full speed in fulfilling the vision of making Auntie Fung’s the face of pan-Asian cuisine in India.
