The restaurant chain Marketplace has posted a vacancy on job search sites for a chef: “an experienced, inspiring manager and leader, with impeccable culinary taste and great creative ambitions, who dreams of working on the shores of the Indian Ocean.” This indicates the management company’s intention to open a new premium restaurant on the Indonesian island of Bali, where the flow of tourists from Russia has increased in recent years.

“We are opening a competition for a chef vacancy in a startup project (Bali, Badung)!” – the advertisement says. Working in the premium segment is indicated by the mandatory requirement of “successful experience in large restaurant projects in St. Petersburg and Moscow” for at least 5 years and a bonus in the form of “gaining experience working with a cool brand chef (1* Michelin).”
The journalists of the Shopper’s portal tried out the role of a job seeker and found out that the company plans to open a restaurant serving Greek cuisine. The Marketplace network itself has not yet commented on the news.
The network has existed since 2012 and was founded by St. Petersburg businessmen Boris Krupkin and Mikhail Augustin. They also owned the Teaspoon chain of pancake shops, which in the early 2000s had 55 locations, but closed in 2019. Now its revival is being led by the general director of the Chainikoff coffee chain, businessman Mikhail Guseinov.
Marketplace Restaurants is a “dynamically developing” democratic chain with an open kitchen and dishes from all over the world made from farm products. According to Telegram, the network has 10 locations in St. Petersburg and one in Moscow (the site lists nine locations in St. Petersburg).
Shopper’s notes that interest in Bali is becoming a trend among restaurateurs: in 2023, producer and blogger Petr Ploskov opened a gastropub with English cuisine, The Question Mark, on the island; in 2022, St. Petersburg restaurateur Mikhail Orlov opened the first (of the future three) establishments serving Russian cuisine.
