Additional Information

Wagamama is proudly part of the Disability Confident scheme. As this role is based in an airport, successful applicants will need to apply for an airport pass (paid for by Wagamama). This process requires providing five years of continuous references and completing a DBS check. If a pass cannot be obtained, we will consider vacancies in nearby non-airport locations.

*100% of tips go to our teams. Tips vary by restaurant and are at guests' discretion. Tips are not considered wages and are not guaranteed.
