• Skilled in managing labor and rotas, with an understanding of the financial performance of your restaurant.

• Recognition as a nationwide "Love Above the Door" legend through our recognition program.

Additional benefits include pension scheme, holiday entitlement, training programs, cycle-to-work scheme, retail and leisure discounts, gym memberships, and long service awards.

Be You, Be Wagamama

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 seek suitable vacancies in nearby non-airport restaurants.

*All tips are given solely at guest discretion and are not considered wages. 100% of tips go directly to our teams; actual tips may vary by restaurant and are not guaranteed.
