Assistant Manager

At Wingstop, we’re not just in the chicken business, we’re in the flavour business. Creating memorable experiences for our customers and team is what we do best, and we’ve got the awards to prove it (Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024 & 2025 and Deliveroo’s Restaurant of the Year). But our mission remains simple: BRING THE FLAVOUR.

As an Assistant Manager working our night shifts, you’ll play a key leadership role in running the restaurant during some of our busiest and most dynamic hours. Supporting the General Manager, you’ll take ownership of the operation, ensuring shifts run smoothly and standards remain high from close through to the end of shift.

You’ll lead and develop your team, supporting your Shift Managers and Crew to deliver great food, fast service, and a consistent experience. Night shifts bring a strong team focus and a real sense of ownership, and you’ll be right at the centre of it – making decisions, driving performance, and keeping the energy high.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll take control, build a close-knit team, and play a key part in delivering strong results.

Whether you’re learning new skills, leading a team, or helping launch a new store, you’ll feel the Wingstop vibe in everything we do. We are fast-paced, high-energy, and all about delivering great experiences for our customers and our people.

AI can be a useful tool - and we understand many candidates use it for support. That said, we’re really interested in you, not an AI-generated version of you.

We want to hear your voice and understand your real experience. Applications or interview tasks that rely heavily on AI may not give us an accurate picture of who you are. Bring your authentic self to the process - that’s who we’re excited to meet.
