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
We’re opening a brand-new Wingstop restaurant. As an Assistant Manager in a New Store Opening, you’ll play a key role in launching a brand-new restaurant and setting it up for success from day one. Working closely with the General Manager, you’ll help build and develop a brand-new team, establish ways of working, and create a high-energy, high-performing culture.
You’ll take ownership of day-to-day operations, supporting your team to deliver great food, fast service, and consistently high standards. From training and coaching new starters to leading shifts and embedding processes, you’ll be central to getting the restaurant off to a strong start.
This is a hands-on role with real responsibility, perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to make a visible impact from the very beginning.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Supporting the restaurant opening and setup
- Leading and developing a brand-new team
- Driving performance and service standards
- Supporting recruitment and onboarding
- Helping shape culture and ways of working
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

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.
