Bring energy. Build people. Shape the future of flavour.
At Wonderfield Group, we’re not just serving food—we’re serving experiences.
The Wonderfield Group has recently been purchased by Zensho Holdings, the leading food service company in Japan with a market cap of $5.5b and whose aim is to become the worlds largest food company, a position from which we can eradicate hunger and poverty from around the globe. We operate restaurants, factories, and thousands of sushi kiosks and have recently built a successful cut fruit business, Snowfruit. Combining this with the three businesses previously owned by Zensho, AFC, Sushi Circle and Sushi Take, results in annual sales of $2.5b and Ebitda in excess of $140m a year with an ambitious growth trajectory.
We’re now looking for a Training Manager to join us on this journey—someone who’s passionate about people, thrives on energy, and knows how to turn learning into something truly engaging.
