You should have a passion for people, food, and hospitality, and be driven to make positive change.

Benefits include a competitive salary, a £3000 bonus opportunity per year, an average of £140 tips per week, access to Wagestream for up to 30% of your earnings before payday, a dedicated 6-week training program, free food allowance on every shift, discounts at Wagamama and other brands, internal progression opportunities, wellness programs, family-friendly policies, and financial wellbeing support.

What We Look For:

• Experienced hospitality manager capable of leading a restaurant team with positive behavior and performance in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communicator who engages in meaningful conversations, ensuring team support and understanding.
• Understanding of restaurant financial performance and opportunity identification.
• Ability to manage budgets and labor costs.
• Passionate leader experienced in team performance and development.
• Inspiring and engaging leadership style that fosters growth and nourishment in careers.
• Problem solver able to think quickly and make decisions.

The Wagamama Way:

Our philosophy, Kaizen, meaning 'good change', drives us to continually improve in all aspects—from our food to our working practices, and our impact on the community and planet. We celebrate difference, personality over perfection, and inclusivity, creating safe spaces for open conversations and real connections.

Join us and be yourself—be Wagamama.
