Job description

At Anyday, we create places that feel good to be in—spaces shaped by genuine hospitality, a deep love for food and a belief in the quiet power of connection. Our venues are guided by instinct, not formulas, offering warmth, character, and moments that linger long after the table’s been cleared.

hôntô is inspired by contemporary Japanese cuisine, where classic dishes are reinterpreted with seasonal ingredients and a focus on local produce.
The menu invites guests to share and experience the full range of delicate, thoughtful flavours. The drinks program highlights premium sake, curated wines, and one of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest Japanese whisky collections. For a more intimate experience, the ôô room offers a hidden nook where you can enjoy the full drinks list and food offerings, all paired perfectly to enhance the umami, texture, and acidity of each dish.

The Role

As hôntô's Sushi Chef, your creativity and skill will contribute to our diverse menu offering, ensuring each dish meets our standards of excellence in taste and presentation. We are looking for someone who is passionate about the hospitality industry, loves cooking Japanese inspired cuisine and delivering a high-level of service in a guest-facing kitchen.
