• A positive, inclusive attitude that fosters a supportive work environment and personal growth

What’s in it for you:

• Biweekly pay plus a share of tips
• Access up to 30% of your earnings before payday with wagestream

• Free food on shift — anything from our menu! Plus 50% off outside of work to treat friends and family
• Industry-leading family-friendly policies (26 weeks full pay plus 13 weeks half pay for expectant or adopting parents)
• Fresh, clean uniform provided for each shift
• Opportunity to try our new menus first
• Wagamama parties throughout the year with VIP guests
• Recognition as a nationwide wok star through our recognition programme

Additionally, we offer benefits such as pension schemes, holiday, training, cycle-to-work schemes, retail and leisure discounts, gym memberships, and long service awards.
