Welcome to Vapiano, the heart of Italian dining in the UK! With 6 thriving UK locations, (over 130 worldwide), and more on the way, we're not just growing; we're revolutionising the Italian food scene.
Our team is the backbone of our success and embodies our values of integrity, excellence, responsibility, respect, courage and awareness.
Our signature? Fresh, handcrafted pasta that’s simply legendary. We're all about quality, freshness, and allowing guests to customise their meals to perfection. Whether adding more spice or skipping the garlic, the dining experience is tailored to their taste.
Step into any Vapiano and feel the difference – it’s more than a meal; it’s an experience.
We provide full training for our Chefs and are looking for people that are passionate about food and enjoy getting in the kitchen. We have open kitchens so that our chefs and front of house are all one team. And because we believe everyone is equally important in giving our guests a great experience, we distribute our tips equally to everyone who worked on the shift whether you served the guest the food or made it! This means you are getting approximately £2 extra per hour in tips.

What are we looking for?
We are friendly, passionate and caring so we look for people that are similar! We will give you training on kitchen skills and delicious receipe knowledge if you bring a smile and enthusiasm. We work in an environment where evenings and weekends are our busiest times so availability at those times is very helpful. Oh and it helps if you really like pasta!
