Soupster Family is a versatile player in the restaurant industry, driven by a love for food and a genuine care for people. Our story began in 1997, when our founder, Kim Heiniö, opened the restaurant Soup in the center of Helsinki. That was the start of a journey that, over the years, has grown into a group of 50 units – including restaurants, bars, event venues, catering services, events, coworking spaces, and HoReCa consulting in Finland, Estonia, and Spain.
The story of Soupster is one of growth and belief in our own craft. Chef Henri Alén once described the very first Soup restaurant like this: “In the kitchen, cross-kitchen was born – full of soul, rage, and meaning.”
Over 20 years later, that spirit is still very much alive. The passion for trying new things, the courage to break boundaries, and the love for the restaurant industry live on in every dish, every customer interaction, and every shift. What began with a single Soup restaurant has, decades later, grown into 50 different units, events, and catering services – still riding the crest of trends.

We believe the restaurant industry is a “people business” – and we invest in people.
Our core values – caring, continuous development, and fun – are present in everything we do every day.
We work with heart – in the kitchen, in the dining room, and behind the scenes. Whether you work as a waiter, a chef, a supervisor, in marketing, finance, or corporate sales, you’ll have the chance to be part of building and developing a growing restaurant group.
In our everyday life, responsibility is reflected in the choices made every day in the kitchen, at the checkout, and in the meeting room. For us, it means actively putting our values into practice.
Soupster Family already includes about 50 units, and we are constantly looking for new talents for various roles.
