What we look for |

We're looking for someone who shares our values and can embody the Wagamama way through how you show up at work. You'll have an interest in food or cooking, and be a great team player who can work well in a fast-paced environment. You'll have good interpersonal skills and be able to multitask in a kitchen with no microwaves or heat lamps; everything we cook is fresh. You don’t need experience to join us as a chef, we'll provide all the training you need.

The Wagamama way |

Kaizen, meaning ‘good change’, is the philosophy that sits at the core of who we are. It shapes every dish we create and pushes us to find better ways in all we do. Our food, our mindset, our work must be fresh. We are committed to championing change in our communities and the impact on the planet.

With three decades of acting differently, we don’t conform; we celebrate difference. We appreciate personality over perfection. We welcome everyone and their unique story to our benches. We promise to have your back. We work together to build close bonds of trust + support. We create safe spaces where we can have real conversations with open hearts + open minds.

All we ask is for you to dish up what makes you different.
