There’s no better feeling than having a great meal out with friends - so why is it so difficult?" It was from this simple statement that the Appetite app was born. At Appetite, we believe that planning your next meal out should not only be simpler but just as enjoyable as the meal itself. Dining out is inherently a social experience, and we're here to make the discovery, planning, and booking one too. We’re now on the hunt for a London-based Social Media Manager to take control and grow our social presence and help drive our brand’s success. We're a brand that's fun, fast-moving, and ready to push the boundaries with what we do (we'll try anything once), and we're looking for a hungry (sorry we had to) new team member to join us on this journey.
