BuJo Burger is bringing a notable jobs boost to Dublin city centre, with 37 new roles tied to its biggest restaurant launch yet. For readers tracking Irish startups, SME Ireland and wider business news, the move stands out as a strong sign of business growth in hospitality at a time when ambitious Irish companies are still backing physical expansion.
The burger chain’s new flagship will open next month at Central Plaza on Dame Street, inside the former Central Bank Building. At 5,500 sq ft and spread across three floors, the venue will seat up to 150 diners and more than double BuJo’s current workforce in Ireland.
What the new Dublin opening means
This is more than a restaurant launch. It is a clear investment in jobs, customer experience and product range.
- 37 new jobs in Dublin
- 150-seat capacity across three floors
- Ground-floor outdoor terrace, with more terrace space planned
- A live “Sharing Table” for up to 10 guests overlooking the grill
- New dessert and breakfast menus for the brand
One detail that gives the project extra character is the bespoke grill imported from Venice, visible from the interactive dining table. It adds a human, theatrical touch to a brand that has steadily built its reputation on quality and consistency.
Irish sourcing and expansion signals
BuJo said it will continue to lean on Irish suppliers, with beef processed through its own butchery in Watergrasshill, chicken from Manor Farm, pork from Loughnanes in Galway and brioche buns from Coughlan’s Artisan Bakers in Kildare. Coffee for the new breakfast menu will come from Cork-based Velo Coffee Roasters.
That local supply focus matters for founders looking for entrepreneur tips and small business advice: growth often works best when it is backed by trusted operational partners. It also reflects the kind of practical innovation Ireland business readers want to see, from sourcing to menu development to workplace culture.
For jobseekers, founders and professionals following business success stories, this opening is a reminder that expansion is still happening across hospitality and consumer brands. In business news, the takeaway is simple: Irish companies that refine their offer and invest with confidence can still create jobs, build visibility and find room for growth.
