Job Description

Assistant General Manager | Full Time

At Wagamama, we’re an eating house for the soul. With over 160 UK restaurants and growing, our purpose is to nourish the world from bowl to soul. Inspired by fast-paced Japanese ramen bars since 1992, Wagamama is a celebration of Asian food brought to life.

We’re looking for an Assistant General Manager to join us on our journey of true nourishment.

The Role

As an Assistant General Manager, you'll be an integral part of the restaurant leadership team, supporting the General Manager in leading the restaurant in the Wagamama way. You’ll embody our values and core leadership behaviors, inspiring and motivating your team to provide exceptional service and exceed expectations. A passion for people, food, and hospitality is essential, along with a drive 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 to access up to 30% of your earnings before payday, a dedicated 6-week training program, free Wagamama food allowance on every shift, discounts at Wagamama and other brands, internal progression opportunities towards a General Manager role, wellness support, family-friendly policies, and financial wellbeing support.

What We Look For

An experienced hospitality manager capable of leading a restaurant team with positive behavior, driving performance in a fast-paced environment. Strong communication skills, financial understanding, team development experience, and problem-solving abilities are essential. Leadership that inspires and engages your team to thrive is key.

The Wagamama Way

Our philosophy, Kaizen, meaning 'good change,' guides us to find better ways in all we do. We celebrate differences, appreciate personality over perfection, and welcome everyone’s unique story. We promise to support our team and create safe, open spaces for honest conversations. Be yourself, be Wagamama.
