Bar Manager – Sticks’n’Sushi Glasgow – New Opening!

Salary: Up to £45,000 per year inclusive of tronc plus bonus

We are a team of Big Smiles and Small Egos.

Welcome to Sticks’n’Sushi - where Japan meets Denmark in the most deliciously, unexpected way.

Not a chain, but a family of restaurants, founded in Copenhagen 31 years ago, by two Japanese-Danish brothers and their brother-in-law. With a unique blend of cultures and culinary traditions, they created something entirely new - and entirely unforgettable.

We serve a unique combination of classic and creative sushi alongside sticks from the grill. After all, we’re a sushi restaurant – even for those who don’t like fish.

We are known for exceptional food, thoughtful Danish design, and a total commitment to developing talented people.

Today, we are growing with restaurants in Copenhagen, Berlin, London, Oxford, Cambridge and soon to be opening a restaurant and bar in George Square, Glasgow!

What drives us:

We are darers, we are crafters, creating an exceptional welcome for every guest who walks through our doors.

Our Energy provides warmth, friendliness, and a lively buzz - it’s the fire at the heart of our restaurants, just like the heat of the grill.

Our Craft ensures precision, dedication, and rhythm - like flowing water, we refine and elevate everything we do through constant focus and care.

Our Togetherness means we know when to turn up the heat, and when to keep it cool. We read the room, support our teams, and balance passion with precision. We promote internally with vigour, we’re always learning and always growing. This is where comfort meets craft, and our culture thrives.

If that sounds like your kind of place, let’s make something remarkable. Together.
