More benches, more bowls, more impact
ireland’s hospitality scene is alive with possibility. from dublin to belfast, there’s energy, ambition and real momentum, and we’re right in the heart of it
we’ve already brought our soul-filled bowls to liffey valley, dundrum and belfast victoria square. a second belfast restaurant opens soon, and that’s just the beginning
this isn’t just an area manager role, this is your chance to lead something meaningful. to take what we’ve started and help turn it into something bigger across ireland
you’ll look after a growing patch of wagamama restaurants, guiding your general managers, lifting your teams and creating spaces that feel welcoming, energetic and full of purpose
you’ll be right there in the middle of it all, from the buzz of service to the detail behind the numbers. you’ll take ownership, make change and spot the small things that make a big difference
you’ll play a key role in what comes next, partnering with our property team to find the right new locations. think cork, galway, more of dublin. we’re open, and you’ll help bring each one to life, from first walkthrough to opening night
you’ll also kick things off with a trip to london for training, connection and immersion into the wagamama way. we’ll cover your travel, stay and everything in between
