Shift 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.

Some of our locations operate late into the night, with certain sites open until 5am.

As a Shift Manager working our late/night shifts, you’ll take the lead in running smooth, high-energy operations during some of our busiest and most dynamic hours. You’ll be responsible for keeping everything on track, from managing the team and maintaining standards, to ensuring every order is delivered quickly and to the highest quality.

Night shifts have a unique rhythm, with a strong team focus and a real sense of ownership. You’ll lead from the front, supporting your team through busy periods, making quick decisions, and keeping the energy high all night long!

This is a hands-on role where you’ll support a tight-knit team, take control of your shifts, and play a key part in delivering consistent results.

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.
