Grill’d is a chain specialising in healthy burgers. It was founded by Simon Crowe in 2004 in Hawthorn, Melbourne.

Through the Local Matters program each Grill'd restaurant donates $500 monthly to three local community groups split $300 / $100 / $100, with customers voting for their favourite by placing a token into a Local Matters jar.[1] Since its launch Local Matters has supported nearly 10,000 local community groups and donated over $1.6 million.

The first Grill'd restaurant opened in 2004. There were five restaurants by the end of 2005, and 35 restaurants in 2010.[2] Grill'd had 69 restaurants opened as of mid-2013.[3]

The restaurant chain encountered controversy in July 2015 when allegations arose that Kahlani Pyrah, a former employee of the Camberwell franchise, had been sacked after beginning a wage case with the Fair Work Commission to overturn a contract which set pay below the minimum award rate. Grill'd officially denied the allegations, but also promised a review of company pay agreements.[4] Pyrah launched a Federal Court case in a bid to get her job back.[5] An interim Federal Court ruling ordered Grill'd to reinstate her, allowing the wage case hearing to go ahead.[6] At the hearing, a ruling by the Fair Work Commission forced Grill'd to raise the wages of employees at its Camberwell franchise to be in line the award rate.[7] A planned unfair dismissal hearing at the Federal Court was called off after Pyrah and Grill'd reached an out-of-court settlement.[8]

In May 2016, a staff member at Grill'd in Point Cook, Victoria denied a woman from accessing a two-for-one offer because she was female.[9]
