Introduction

A nanwhatnow? A Nandoca! That's what we call those in our restaurant family. Our passionate team players, putting their heart, soul, and magical powers into serving up amazing food and drink, catering unforgettable customer experiences. Brimming with passion and personality, as a Nandoca, I put all I have into everything I do.

About the Employer

Ask people where Nando's comes from and you'll get a different answer every time. Portugal? Mexico? The UK? The Nando's story started in 1987 in Rosettenville, a Portuguese neighbourhood in Johannesburg, South Africa. Fast forward five years and Nando's landed in the UK. Now, with over 460 restaurants (and counting), their PERi-PERi is a bestselling hot sauce and Nando's has become as big a part of culture as drinking tea.
