Buffet

Have you seen our launch campaign out and about in the wild? At Cook & Waiter, when launching our new flagship venue, we wanted to create something that not only grabbed your attention but also made you stop, zoom in, and take notice—literally. The resulting creative played with scale, pairing bold macro images, finely crafted details and punchy copy to reflect the versatile nature of Saltbox. The design of Saltbox, crafted by the brilliant minds at Bates Smart and nestled in the curated and cool new Wunderlich Lane precinct by TOGA, reflects this very philosophy. It's all about grand possibilities executed with precision—this launch campaign (and our business itself!) echoes this balance of ambition and attention to detail. Let us know what you think if you've spotted it around. We’re now taking bookings for May 2025, let’s celebrate LARGE together next year!

Even though we're face-down in the digital world, the Buffet shop is a place where we can play with physical products, and our newest production is FOOD FACE! An F&B play on the classic game of Celebrity Heads. Shoutout to the glorious team it takes to pull something like this off; design and print production by Nathalie Rolando, box copy and creative consultation c/o Lina MacGregor, budget and packaging wrangling by Melinda Evans, content amplification strategy by Kaleela Lauder, pics by Nikki To, videography and editing for our hero spot by the man Josh Bentley w/ incredible talent in the likes of John-Paul Mockler Rose Howard and Matilda Christie.

Happy birthday to the original jaffle maker! 50 years ago Breville | Sage launched this kitchen icon, and decades later, it's still a family favourite in homes across the globe. From school lunches to late-night snacks, the jaffle has cemented its place as a symbol of comfort, nostalgia, and Australian ingenuity. (What better way to celebrate than a jaffle birthday tower! Brought to life by our Global Comms team alongside Buffet.)

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Junior Content Producer at Buffet!
