About Us

HiHi Burger was founded by Paul Allam, the visionary behind Bourke Street Bakery. After spending seven years in NYC, he developed an obsession with smash burgers and perfect fries. Now, he's bringing that passion for premium ingredients and bold flavors to a fast, fun, and high-energy food concept.

We’re launching a high-energy, quality-driven smash burger concept focused on great food, efficient operations, and an outstanding customer experience. Our goal is to build a tight-knit, supportive team that takes pride in delivering simple food, done exceptionally well—every time.

At HiHi Burger, we do things fast, fun, and precise. There are no egos, no shortcuts—just big flavours, loud beats, and a team that works hard for each other.
