How we will support your journey with us
At Sticks’n’Sushi, we don’t want people to stand still. We help you grow. Through our Lead’n’Learn academy, we will support you to master your craft and new skills. 90% of our General Managers were promoted from within, so promotion is definitely possible. We also have opportunities in our Support Teams and for those who can, in other places such as London, Copenhagen or Berlin (and more to follow).
