• Access up to 30% of your earnings before payday with Wagestream.
• Share of tips (tips are discretionary and vary by restaurant).
• Free food on shift from our menu, with 50% off outside of work.
• Industry-leading family-friendly policies, including paid parental leave.
• Opportunity to try new menus first.
• Dry-cleaned chef whites provided each shift.
• Wagamama parties and events with VIP guests.
• National recognition through our Wok Star program.
