About the company
Sessions is a London-based food brand scaling company that helps founder-led food brands grow through a network of delivery kitchens and high street restaurants. Sessions positions the platform as a distribution and operating model that handles order aggregation, compliance, and partner operations so brands can expand faster. Sessions also runs venue-based concepts, including the Sessions@ Shelter Hall food hall in Brighton. Public records list an incorporation date of 25 January 2019, while the company’s hiring site lists 2020 as the founding year, so the public “founded” date varies by source. Dan Warne is listed as founder and CEO.
Locations and presence
Sessions runs HQ hiring from an office near Victoria Station in London with hybrid working. Sessions also operates a UK-wide footprint through 400+ delivery kitchens and a set of high street restaurant locations, with an additional venue presence in Brighton.
Palpable Score
68.1
/ 100
Sessions offers a real early-career entry point through a live graduate sales role with published pay, a start date, and a defined work pattern. The strongest signals sit in transparency and benefits, while the score is held back by a short current vacancy list outside sales and mixed public feedback on pressure and work-life balance.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

11.8
/ 20
  • The company is actively hiring for a Graduate Sales Academy intake with a stated start date (April 2026) and a graduate-targeted brief.
  • Sessions currently shows a very small set of open HQ roles (Graduate Sales Academy, Business Development Manager, Chef Trainer), which limits the number of alternative 0–3 year entry points at the same time.
  • The company has frontline roles showing up in public reviews and interview reports (for example Host roles in Brighton and Burger Maker hiring tied to local operations), but these do not appear as repeat, centrally-managed graduate pathways.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.5
/ 20
  • The company publishes concrete terms for early-career sales hiring, including base pay, commission, share options, start date, and hybrid expectations in the Graduate Sales Academy advert.
  • Sessions states an expected response time (“usually respond within a week”) and describes anonymised application review where hiring managers see only work experience and education.
  • The company has third-party interview write-ups describing structured steps like role-play for a Business Development Representative and a screening call then hiring-manager call for analytics, but the same set includes criticism of interview tone and an overall low share of positive interview experiences.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.5
/ 20
  • The company runs a Management & Leadership Programme and lists support for work-based qualifications and memberships (examples given include AAT and CIPD).
  • Sessions uses training-heavy roles such as Chef Trainer, where the job scope includes hands-on onboarding and training across partner kitchens, suggesting repeatable training standards exist in operations.
  • The company’s public employee feedback includes examples of supportive line management and recognition, but also mentions knowledge silos and long-hour expectations in some areas, which can make early-career support uneven.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

15.8
/ 20
  • The company posts salary ranges on current roles, including £32,000–£36,000 base for Graduate Sales Academy (plus monthly commission and share options) and £36,000 base for Chef Trainer (plus bonus and share options).
  • Sessions lists a tangible benefits set for HQ roles, including a healthcare cash plan, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays plus birthday off, an Employee Assistance Programme, a volunteering day, and pay day on demand.
  • The company links bonuses to OKRs and uses commission-heavy packages for some early-career roles, which can create income variability even when the base salary is clear.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

12.5
/ 20
  • The company has a meaningful public review footprint with an overall rating around the mid-3s out of 5 and a category score for career opportunities in the high-3s, alongside reviews from both short-tenure leavers and longer-tenure current employees.
  • Sessions shows mixed function-level outcomes in public feedback: hospitality venue roles often mention good teams and pay, while some sales feedback points to high targets, pressure, and long hours.
  • The company’s public employee directory sits around the mid-double-digits and Sessions is actively hiring now, but Sessions does not publish clear early-career progression stories or promotion examples, which caps confidence on 12–24 month outcomes.
