Dubai And London Now On The Menu For Tashas Workers

What started as a single chic cafe in Joburg back in 2005 is now opening doors to the world for its South African staff - literally.

The Tashas Group, the stylish restaurant empire founded by Natasha Sideris, is doing more than just plating up beautiful food. It's fast becoming one of South Africa's most exciting gateways to global opportunities, sending employees to work in branches across London, Dubai and beyond - all while investing heavily in upskilling and personal growth, as first reported by BusinessTech .

With 39 locations spread across South Africa, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the UK, the brand's international footprint is rapidly expanding. But what truly sets it apart is its approach to human capital: staff aren't just employees - they're partners in the journey.

'In the Middle East and London, where access to tech is far greater, we've built dynamic mobile training tools,' says Sideris. 'It's interactive, hands-on, and keeps our teams constantly learning.'

But it's not all apps and modules. The head office team flies out to meet new staff in person, providing deep brand immersion sessions, sharing stories from around the Tashas world, and igniting that spark of ambition that drives employees to grow beyond their initial roles.
