Time Out
About us
The History :
Time Out started off with the concept of an eatery with clean entertainment and good quality food at low price for students, families and busy executives of Dhaka.
On 5th November, 2000 Time Out was launched by two sisters Sangita Ahmed and Samina Salman. With a lot of encouragement 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 the trendy 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! A second branch opened in Banani in September 2010.
Whats so Special About Us?
Our cuisine consists of delicious Thai, Mexican, South Indian and Bangladeshi items. Recently we have added succulent sizzling steaks to our menu, which has become a big hit among Time Out lovers. 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.
The Happening Café:
Time Out encourages amateur as well as professional singers, poets , comedians, musicians etc to perform either voluntarily or for a small honorarium, once a month on a weekend. It is the ideal place for hanging out with friends, birthday parties, anniversaries... show more or business lunches. The atmosphere is of warm, friendly informality. Time Out is the “Hip and Happening place”
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:
In November 2000, we had started with a team of 4. Now, we are a dynamic team of over 60. All our staff, including our 10 cooks were simple unemployed youth mainly from the villages. They received extensive personalized professional training from Time Out and are now on their way to a bright future. show more
