Then we’d love to hear from you.

• Bonus scheme and additional earning opportunities.
• Free food on shift — anything from our menu! Plus 50% off outside of work to treat friends and family.
• An industry-leading family-friendly policy (expectant or adoptive parents receive 26 weeks full pay + 13 weeks half pay).
• Be the first to experience our new menus.
• Wagamama parties throughout the year with VIP guests.
• Access up to 30% of your earnings before payday with Wagestream.

In addition, we offer pension schemes, training, cycle-to-work schemes, discounted gym memberships, and long service awards.

Be you, be Wagamama
