Standard payment terms
Wagamama Limited, as standard, pays all its suppliers and distributors no later than the last day of the month following the month in which the relevant undisputed invoice is received by Wagamama i.e. between 31 and 61 days from receipt. Variations to these standard payment terms are by exception only, and only applied when negotiated and agreed by both parties.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
Due to the unprecedented impact of COVID-19, it was necessary for us to agree extended payment periods with a number of our key suppliers. These changes to our standard terms were all agreed in advance and we are grateful for the support of our supplier base. As we return to more normal trading conditions, we will endeavour to bring down the time to pay in line with our standard terms.
Were suppliers notified or consulted about these changes before they were made?
Suppliers were contacted by our procurement department to discuss any proposed changes to the standard payment terms.

For Wagamama, the escalation point would be the current Procurement Director.
