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 (cost covered by Wagamama). This process requires five years of continuous references and a DBS check. If a pass cannot be obtained, alternative vacancies in nearby non-airport restaurants will be considered.

*100% of tips go to our teams. Tips vary by restaurant and are discretionary; they are not considered wages or guaranteed.
