Nothing brings about joy like satiating appetites, something our kitchen teams knock out of the park with plenty of love and laughs along the way.
Shake, mix, strain and pour into the hearts of Auckland city, each establishment bringing a unique twist to the art of bringing joy to our customers with a drink in hand or smile at the door.
With over 500 joymakers working across an ever-growing list of establishments, our leadership team is tasked with matching strategy with love every day.
Joylab’s establishments stand out thanks to the common threads that tie them together, otherwise known as the cracking office staff.
We’re not in the business of bars, but connecting humans like you to the city of Auckland to bring about joy - that means 50% staff discounts, ownership options, health insurance, team trips, and room to grow across 20+ unique establishments.
Our journey to over 20 cherished bars sprawled across Auckland was guided by our desire to become everybody’s favourite social destinations, served up by our favourite people. We honour the details, embrace the ride, grow the good, and own the outcomes together.
Sharing knowledge and success with each other makes us a stronger and happier team, that’s why we’ve teed up a curated range of training options for the freshest faces to general managers and beyond.
Love
It’s no secret that we lead with love, bringing a voice to our establishments that everyone shares from the kitchens to the tables.
Learn
We’re about growing the good, which is our people. We equip them with the training they need to step up and make the most of their careers.
