We create with longevity in mind.
Our culture is the cornerstone of Brighton Group’s accomplishments. We live by family values, from fair play to always leaving things in a better state.
Maintaining our culture helps us bring in and retain the very best hospitality talent in Tasmania, while staying true to the island’s people and heritage.
We strive to make every experience and workplace memorable and enduring, guided at every step by the principles below.
Our Principles
Challenge the task, not the teammate.
We compete with intensity, but always with integrity. Our focus stays on the game itself. That means remaining calm, thinking clearly, and making fair, unbiased decisions without letting emotions or personal feelings get in the way.
Be willing to reach out when you need guidance.
There’s an old proverb that says when you ask a question, you may seem foolish for a moment — but if you never ask, you risk remaining foolish forever. We encourage all our employees to ask questions openly, frequently, and as early as possible.
We honor our commitments.
This is essential to creating trust and achieving success. When we make a commitment, we stand by it and back it up with action.
Balance attention across all those you serve.
Our goal is to create value for everyone — not just a select few. That’s why we embrace diversity within our team and proudly serve a wide range of customers.
Prioritize substance over recognition.
We’re not here to seek recognition for ourselves. We’re here so our guests, friends, and customers can take center stage and shine.
Make things better than they were before.
This is our guiding principle. Whether it’s routine tasks, a brand-new project, a long-term partnership, or a fresh venture, we always strive to leave our venues, kitchens, storerooms — and everything else — in better condition than we found them.
Celebrating 60 years of family
Our story starts in January, when John Doe joined the Royal Australian Air Force. Only one in three men in his squadron survived WWll; Doe was one of them. Doe’s war experience of losing so many good men gave him a dogged determination to set up a business that gave meaningful, lasting employment to as many people as possible.
