• Supports food safety, health and safety standards, and understands financial aspects like gross profit, stock control, and labour costs
• Loves celebrating team success and recognizing individual needs

What’s In It for You:

• Weekly pay and share of tips
• Access up to 30% of earnings before payday with Wagestream
• £1000 annual bonus opportunity
• Flexible hours to support side pursuits
• Free food on shift and 50% off outside work to treat friends and family
• Industry-leading family-friendly policies, including 26 weeks full pay and 13 weeks half pay for expectant or adopting parents
• Uniform provided for each shift
• First access to new menus and Wagamama parties with VIP guests
• Recognition as a nationwide "Wok Star" through our recognition program

Additional benefits include pension scheme, holiday, training, cycle-to-work scheme, retail and leisure discounts, gym memberships, and long service awards.
