Everyone who works at Nando’s are a part of our extended family; we refer to these important family members as Nandocas…the most special breed of people on the planet! At Nando’s, we know it really is the people that make the chicken!

Our Nandocas set us apart from other restaurant businesses. Our people are Nando’s to our customers. They are the ones that turn Nando’s customers into friends and are the basic building blocks for our success as a company and as a brand.

There are certain qualities that make Nandocas what they are and what they become. Just a few of these are outlined below:

• True Nandocas understand the power within themselves. They know that if they can dream it, they can do it.



• True Nandocas have a sense of pride in what they have achieved, and that pride lights the way for others.



• A true Nandocas is an enthusiastic optimist – in control of his/her own destiny, knowing that in any problem lies a solution (or 2, or 3…).



• True Nandocas are true to themselves – because then they are true to everybody. Integrity is the source of their energy and courage.



• A true Nandocas is blessed with a sense of fun. They play hard as they work, and all Nandocas know that laughter is the sweetest sound of them all!



• A true Nandocas never stands still. True Nandocas know that life is a never-ending adventure. True Nandocas remain forever young.

The Culture at Nando’s

Our culture is based on 5 values that ‘live and grow’ within the organization. These values are more than just words written on a piece of paper – they’re what give Nandocas our distinctiveness and uniqueness – they define our expectations of ourselves and from others. They are as follows:

Pride… in our brand and our people.

Passion… for what we do.

Courage… to find brave and innovative solutions.

Integrity… at Nando’s means doing the right thing for the right reason, even when it’s the hardest thing to do.

Family… is about being a part of Nando’s, about being part of a team where similar values are inherent in everyone.

A Nandoca who embraces these values can only be successful. They will shine through in every aspect of the business and, at the end of the day, customers and staff alike will not only warm to the peri-peri in our chicken, but every ingredient that goes into the Nando’s dining experience. It’s about creating, living and sharing in the Nando’s Way!
