Time Out

agement and help from their husbands, H.A.R Jewel and Salman Masud, the name Time Out was chosen, depicting the concept of respite from the busy schedules of city life. The first branch was a 100 sft space where Pink City Shopping Mall stands today. It was decorated in 2 weeks, with seating for just 15 people. Gulshan-2 was one of the popular haunts for young Dhakaites. An old cook from the Mirpur Bihari Camp was found and convinced to move in to nearby Kalachandpur. It was a family venture, where our entire families would put in a helping hand after work hours! Our motto was “good food, comfort zone at amazing value” and within a year, Time Out became the “in” place to hang out and cool off. On the 3rd of March 2005 Time Out moved to a new location at Arushi Food Court, situated at Plot 10, Road 23, Gulshan 1. At this point, Sangeeta Khan joined Sangita Ahmed and Samina Salman in the forward journey of Time Out. The trio made the perfect combo and there was no looking back! Our branch opened in Banani in September 2010. Whats so Special About Us? Our cuisine consists of delicious Mini Thai, Sizzling Steaks, Mexican, Dumplings, South Indian and Bangladeshi items. All food is cooked upon order but the 20 minute wait does not deter our guests from queuing up at all hours of the day, because we make it worth the wait. It is the ideal place for hanging out for friends and family, business lunches or just chilling on the way back home. The atmosphere is of warm, friendly informality. We give something back to society:

In addition to doing good business and making good profit, we do carry out our commitment towards society and our country. A percentage of our net profit is divided equally among our staff at the end of each month. This makes them share holders of the restaurant and they are highly motivated. At the end of each month all accounts are shown to the staff as they are part of the team, All facts are shared regarding new policies, accounts, allowances etc. Time out runs on teamwork as we know that our staff are behind our success. Staff meetings are held each month where our workers give their inputs as to how to improve service and sales. We provide profit sharing facilities, food allowances, medical treatment costs and regular salary reviews on performance in addition to yearly increases. Our staff turnover is almost nil as hardly anyone leaves once they are employed at Time Out. Growth:
