How we will support your journey with us

At Sticks’n’Sushi, we don’t want people to stand still. We help you grow. Through our Lead’n’Learn academy, we will support you to master your craft and new skills. 90% of our General Managers were promoted from within, so promotion is definitely possible. We also have opportunities in our Support Teams and for those who can, in other places such as London, Copenhagen or Berlin (and more to follow).

The benefits that go beyond the day to day

Yes, we work hard. But we also laugh, learn, and enjoy the ride. We want all our Strange Fish to be part of building something meaningful and to feel involved in making Sticks ‘n’ Sushi a little bit better every day. A place where everyone belongs and is represented. As well as our Sticks ‘n’ Sushi language lessons (so you can speak our (slightly odd) hosting lingo in no time), you’ll enjoy:

Staff food (very, very delicious) every shift
50% discount across all our restaurants, everywhere (yes – and drinks)
Generous referral bonus schemes
Employee assistance and wellbeing support
Financial wellbeing support
