Job Description:
Assistant General Manager | Full Time
At Wagamama, we’re an eating house for the soul. With over 160 UK restaurants and growing, our purpose is to nourish the world from bowl to soul. Inspired by fast-paced Japanese ramen bars since 1992, Wagamama is a celebration of Asian food brought to life.
We’re looking for an Assistant General Manager to join us on our journey of true nourishment.
The role |
As an Assistant General Manager, you'll be an integral part of the restaurant leadership team, supporting the General Manager in leading the restaurant in the Wagamama way. You’ll embody our values and core leadership behaviors, inspiring and motivating your team to provide exceptional service and exceed expectations. A passion for people, food, and hospitality, along with a drive to make positive change, are essential.
Benefits include a competitive salary, £3,000 bonus opportunity per year, an average of £140 tips per week, access to Wagestream for up to 30% of earnings before payday, a dedicated 6-week training program, free Wagamama food allowance on shifts, discounts at Wagamama and other brands, internal progression opportunities, wellness programs, family-friendly policies, and financial wellbeing support.
What we look for |
An experienced hospitality manager capable of leading a restaurant team positively, driving performance in a fast-paced environment. Strong communication skills, financial acumen, leadership experience, and the ability to inspire and develop your team are required. You should be a proactive problem solver who can think quickly and make decisions on the spot.
The Wagamama way |
Our philosophy, Kaizen, meaning ‘good change,’ drives us to continuously improve in all aspects—from our food to how we work and impact our community and planet. We celebrate difference, value personality over perfection, and foster a culture of trust, support, and open communication. We encourage you to bring your authentic self to work and be part of our unique story.
