Assistant Manager in Coventry

About Us
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.

About The Role

You’ll lead, coach, and motivate your Shift Managers and Crew, building a positive, high-energy environment where people can thrive. From supporting recruitment and training to driving service, food quality, and cleanliness, you’ll play a vital role in the success of the restaurant. This is a hands‑on role with real responsibility, perfect for someone who’s ready to step up, take ownership, and make a visible impact. This role is based in one of our dine‑in restaurants.

AI Disclaimer
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.
