Chalu Aapna Desi Chinese, the quirky and beloved Indo-Chinese restaurant chain, has announced a major hiring drive to support its bold expansion across India and internationally. Known for its signature fusion of Indian spices with Chinese flavors, the brand currently boasts over 200 outlets in India and recently made its international debut in Canada.

With a current headcount of 500+, the company plans to add 650 new hires between February 2024 and March 2026. The hiring will focus on key areas like hospitality and customer service, operations and outlet management, and marketing and sales.

The brand’s founder, Vibhanshu Mishra, shared his vision behind the expansion:

“Opening new outlets is the simple part for us. What truly matters is creating teams that get our culture, honor our kitchen, and infuse every plate with real warmth and flavours of Indo-Chinese cuisine.”

Chalu is not just recruiting; it’s building a people-first culture where team members are seen as culinary storytellers and customer experience champions. The onboarding process is rigorous, emphasizing hygiene, safety, and a deep understanding of the brand's #Bchalu spirit. Every team member is trained to deliver a memorable experience — whether working on the floor, behind the kitchen counter, or building the brand in new communities.

Following the successful hiring of 150 employees between February and April 2024, the company is now gearing up to bring on 500 more staff members over the next two years. The aim isn’t just to fill roles, but to find individuals who are passionate about food, hospitality, and service excellence.

Chalu Aapna Desi Chinese is targeting 100 new outlets by FY 2025–26, including 25 in Canada and several across Punjab and North India. As the brand scales, it’s staying true to its roots — growing not just quickly, but thoughtfully. The focus remains on local recruitment, hands-on training, and cultivating long-term careers, making this hiring spree a launchpad for professionals who want to be part of a fast-paced, flavorful journey.
