A passion for people, food, and hospitality, along with a drive to make positive change, are essential.
Benefits include a competitive salary, a £3000 bonus opportunity per year, an average of £140 tips per week, access to Wagestream to access up to 30% of your earnings before payday, a dedicated 6-week training program, free Wagamama food allowance on every shift, discounts at Wagamama and other TRG 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 with positive behavior and driving performance in a fast-paced environment.
* Strong communication skills that foster understanding and support among team members.
* Experience in understanding and improving the financial performance of a restaurant.
* Ability to manage restaurant and labor budgets.
* A passionate leader who manages team performance and development.

* A forward-thinking problem solver who can make quick decisions.
The Wagamama Way:
Our philosophy, Kaizen, meaning 'good change', drives us to continuously improve in all aspects—from our food to our work environment, and our community impact. We celebrate difference and personality over perfection, creating inclusive spaces for open, honest conversations. We ask you to bring your authentic self to Wagamama.
Wagamama is proudly part of Disability Confident.
