MEET THE TEAM | RYAN 🍸
Meet Ryan, our The Q Rooftop Bar Supervisor at Quincy Hotel Melbourne.
Born and raised in Melbourne, Ryan never expected a career in hospitality, but it's a journey that's given him plenty of challenges, opportunities and moments to be proud of along the way.
Ryan's introduction to bartending happened by chance. A close friend introduced him to the bartending community, and what started as curiosity quickly became a genuine passion. The more he learned about cocktails, spirits and hospitality, the more he wanted to learn, and that passion continues to grow every day.
Today, Ryan loves creating memorable guest experiences at The Q Rooftop Bar, where every drink is an opportunity to connect with people and make their visit a little more special.
🔥 What keeps him motivated?
"There's still so much to learn in this industry, and that's what excites me. I love creating great experiences for guests and hearing what they think after trying one of our cocktails. Seeing people enjoy what we've created makes it all worthwhile."

MEET THE TEAM | POM 👨🍳
Meet Pom, our Junior Sous Chef at Salted Egg, Quincy Hotel Melbourne.
Originally from Thailand, Pom's passion for food was shaped by the rich culinary traditions of Hatyai and Bangkok. His biggest inspiration was his grandmother, who taught him from a young age that great food is about more than just flavour. It's about connection, culture and bringing people together around the table.
Today, Pom brings that same philosophy into the Salted Egg kitchen, sharing his love of authentic Thai cuisine and the techniques that have been passed down through generations.
🔥 What keeps him motivated?
"Sharing the authentic heart of Thai food. Cuisine brings people together regardless of where they're from, and watching guests connect over a shared meal is incredible to see."
"For me, it's about making everything from scratch, teaching those techniques to the team, and helping everyone grow together."
