We are an award-winning fast casual Japanese restaurant in Brixton looking for chefs to assist with prep and service.
In this position you will be paid the London living wage, be trained under a Master Chef champion, and learn to cook a wide range of classic and modern Japanese dishes. It is a great experience for new chefs who are just starting out in the kitchen, or for more experienced chefs who are looking to learn about new ingredients and techniques.
Duties will include the following:
- Food prep and service
- Cleaning and kitchen maintenance
- Working with senior kitchen team to ensure high standards are maintained from the ground up
- Running and organising a section during service
You must be:
- A team player who able to work 40 hours or more each week, including evenings and weekends
- Someone with experience working in a busy kitchen and not afraid to work long days
- Eager to learn about Japanese cookery
- Knowledgeable of basic food hygiene and safety standards (certification is a plus)
You will be trained on the job and we will encourage you to work in various areas of the kitchen to gain experience rapidly. Staff meals will be provided along with a pint of delicious Japanese beer at the end of your shift, and you will also be given a portion of the service charge. We are a good-natured but demanding team, and will provide a great opportunity to junior chefs looking to expand their experience and tackle a new challenge.
We have been named one of London's hottest restaurants by Square Meal and were recently voted the best restaurant in Brixton by readers of Eat in Brixton. Our executive chef is a Master Chef winner and Japanese cookbook author and was last year named by Time Out as one of London's hottest chefs, so this position will teach you a great deal about Japanese cuisine. We are a good-natured but demanding team, and will provide a great opportunity to chefs looking to take on new challenges in a variety of settings. We promote from within, so if you work hard and learn quickly, there is a very good chance you will be promoted to a more senior position. (One of our KPs who started last year is now running the Passe and doing the ordering.)
We look forward to hearing from you and seeing what you can do!
