Employees of Wagamama will receive a £1,000 bonus as a result of the £559m sale of the Asian noodle bar chain to The Restaurant Group.
The bonus payments, totalling £4m, are being paid by Duke Street, its private equity backer, and Wagamama management to all employees who had worked for the company for at least 12 months as of November 28.
The company told employees this week that waiting staff will each receive £1,000, while general managers and head chefs will collect £2,000. About 3,600 members of staff will benefit.
