Company Overview
Our story actually starts in Rosettenville, a Portuguese neighbourhood in Johannesburg, South Africa. It was 1987 and Robbie Brozin and Fernando Duarte opened their first chicken restaurant. Then another. And then another. Fast forward five years and Nando’s landed in the UK, with stops in Mozambique. Now, with over 480 restaurants (and counting), our PERi-PERi is a bestselling hot sauce and Nando’s has become as big a part of culture as drinking tea. We’ve got a growing family of 20,000 Nandocas, fuelled by our values: Pride, Passion, Integrity, Courage and Family. We care as much about them as we do our legendary, flame-grilled PERi-PERi – because it’s the people that make the chicken.
We do things a bit differently round here. More than just a job, we have each other’s backs, we inspire each other and we don’t take ourselves too seriously – we’re family. We want Nandocas (our team members) to be happy and do well. Whatever your path, we’re here to run brilliant shifts. We want to make money, change lives and have fun at the same time.
