Three decades of acting different; we don’t conform, we celebrate difference. Appreciating personality over perfection – we call it be you, be wagamama. With over 165 restaurants, we are looking for a general manager to join us on our journey to nourish us all from bowl, to soul.

The role |

As a general manager, you’ll inspire your team to go the extra mile for our guests, keeping expectations and standards high. You will coach and develop your team to be the best they can be, while driving restaurant performance and delivering excellent results.

If you |

• Prioritize cultivating a positive and inclusive work culture through emotional intelligence, inspiration, and effective delegation. Your ability to influence and empower emerging leaders shines through as you provide training, coaching, and mentorship.
• Are dedicated to excellence in guest experience, ensuring every interaction reflects exceptional service, whether through your own efforts or by equipping your team with the necessary skills and mindset.
• Have strong financial acumen, encompassing budgeting, inventory management, labor management, and strategic marketing. You analyze data meticulously to drive key business decisions and foster continuous improvement.
• Focus on building and nurturing your team, from recruitment to ongoing development, committed to fostering personal and professional growth.
• Care about creating an inclusive environment where your team feels respected and that they belong, allowing them to flourish in their roles and careers.
• Are a forward-thinking problem solver, able to think on your feet and make quick decisions.

Then we’d love to hear from you.

What’s in it for you |

• Bonus scheme and extra earning opportunities.
• Free food on shift – anything from our menu! Plus 50% outside of work to treat your friends and family.
• An industry-leading family-friendly policy (any expectant person or anyone adopting a child will receive 26 weeks full pay + 13 weeks half pay).
• Be the first to experience our brand-new menus.
• Wagamama parties throughout the year with VIP guests.
• Access up to 30% of your earnings before payday with Wagestream.

In addition, we offer pension schemes, training, cycle-to-work schemes, discounted gym memberships, and long service awards.

Be you, be Wagamama.
