Head Chef Operations - Kingston Contract: Full Time
Salary: £32,000 to £34,000
Contracted Hours: 45
We burst onto the restaurant scene in 1997, when we shook up London and showed the UK a new way of eating. Part of this was the 'kaiten' conveyor belt and colour-coded dishes which made our name.
We're all about fresh, flavoursome, authentic Japanese food. Sushi is what we're famous for, but we also have a mouth-watering range of hot street food available - from traditional classics to innovative fusion dishes. All packed with rich, aromatic flavours and umami. Fast forward to today and we have over 70 restaurants all over the globe, more than 300 kiosks in the UK, with grocery products and pre-pack sushi in most major UK supermarkets.
We're looking for an inspiring, hands on Head Chef who loves great food, thrives in a high energy environment, and knows how to bring out the best in a kitchen team. If you're passionate about quality, consistency, and leading from the front-this could be your next move
