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).

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.
