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

Something exciting is coming! We’re opening a brand-new Wingstop restaurant! As a General Manager for a New Store Opening, you’ll have full accountability for launching and leading a brand-new restaurant. From building your team to setting the culture and establishing ways of working, you’ll play a key role in bringing the brand to life in a new location.

You’ll take ownership of all aspects of the business, from driving sales and controlling costs to delivering exceptional customer experiences. Leading from the front, you’ll recruit, train, and develop a high-performing team, ensuring the restaurant is set up for long-term success from day one.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll shape the direction of your restaurant, build a strong team culture, and deliver results in a fast-paced, high-energy environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Leading the restaurant opening
  • Building and developing your team
  • Setting standards and ways of working
  • Driving performance from day one
  • Owning full operational delivery

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.
