**The Wagamama Way |**

Kaizen, meaning ‘good change’, is the philosophy that sits at the core of who we are. It shapes every dish we create and pushes us to find better ways in all we do. Our food, how we think, how we work, it has to be fresh. Committed to championing change in both our communities + the impact on the planet.

Three whole decades of acting different, we don’t conform, we celebrate difference. Appreciating personality over perfection. Welcoming everyone and their unique story to our benches. We promise to have your back. Working together to build close bonds of trust + support. Creating safe spaces where we can have real conversations with open hearts + open minds.

All we ask is for you to dish up what makes you different.

**Be you, be Wagamama.**
