our values

our core beliefs that make wagamama what it is

zig when others zag
we’re diverse, we change the status quo + unite in being different. this spirit is in our dna, it’s who we are
we’ve got each other's backs
we support each other. a safe space with no fear of failure or rejection. building bonds of close trust + leaving not one person behind
kaizen at our heart
kaizen means continuous improvement. each day we strive for better. we take pride in what we do, everyday, for the benefit of others
it has to be fresh
we bring fresh into everything we do. the food we serve, how we work and the way we think. it is something we never compromise on
treading softly + mindfully
every step we take, we are mindful of the impact we can have on – our environment, our communities + ourselves
