LEARN STUFF. TRY STUFF.

Your Journey with Viaggio

Did you know 70% of our managers are homegrown?

We can offer you a top-class development and apprenticeship programme with Viaggio.

Viaggo (Italian for journey) is our career development programme. We can teach you everything from perfecting pasta to leading your own restaurant.

You can start anywhere and go everywhere, like:
Kitchen Porter → Section Chef → Head Chef
FOH Team Member → Assistant Manager → General Manager

You bring the energy and we’ll help you blow the doors off.

REAL ZIZZI TEAM STORIES

Inga’s Zizzi operations journey

“I started as a waitress in St Albans and I’m now an Ops Manager. I embraced every opportunity, even the daunting ones, because they helped me grow. My leadership development and coaching at Zizzi has been transformative. Wherever you are in your journey, never stop learning or challenging yourself.”

Sarah’s Zizzi training journey

“I joined at 16 as a Front of House Team Member and became a General Manager by 20 (minus a cheeky ski season). Now I am a National Trainer. I grabbed every bit of training I could. If you build your network, push yourself, and make your own opportunities, you’ll go far here.”

“Kitchen Porter to Holding GM. I’ve done it all! Zizzi has helped me discover how to be more present, to listen, and to give great feedback. On your journey, don’t be afraid to speak up. We’re surrounded by beautiful people who help us grow.”

Zsolt’s Zizzi food dev journey

“I started on 28 March 2009 as a section chef. Now I’m with the food development team. Zizzi has taught me to listen to understand and to empower others. Don’t give up on your development - work hard and it will pay off!”

BRING YOUR BEST SELF TO WORK

Come as you are: bold tattoos, big laugh, brave choices, bad dance moves – we love it all. We hire people, not clones.

It’s not silver service. It’s real service. And it means something.

Every shift’s a little show. A smile that sticks. A moment that makes someone’s night. That’s the Zizzi way.

DOING GOOD. FEELING GOOD.

We’re all about taking care of people. So we’re raising £1 million for the Mental Health Foundation.

Because great times start with great minds.
