What We Look For:

• An experienced hospitality manager capable of leading a restaurant team with positive behavior and driving performance in a fast-paced environment.
• A strong communicator who engages in genuine conversations, ensuring team support and understanding.
• Experience in understanding and managing restaurant financial performance and budgets.
• A passionate leader experienced in team performance and development.
• An inspiring individual who motivates their team to flourish in their roles and careers.
• A forward-thinking problem solver who can make quick decisions.

The Wagamama Way:

Our philosophy of Kaizen—meaning 'good change'—drives us to constantly improve in all aspects, from our food to our work environment and community impact. We celebrate differences, value personality over perfection, and foster a culture of trust, support, and open communication. We invite you to be yourself and bring your unique qualities to Wagamama.
