About the role

From our Copenhagen beginnings, our intention was always to be one of a kind. We ensure our guests enter our restaurant with a big IRASHAIMASSE (welcome to our restaurant) and leave us with the best feeling possible.

Sushi & yakitori is about technique, tradition and precision. To work with us, your hands, head and heart must be in complete harmony. We love Head Chefs who can thrive in a kitchen full of pride, pace and energy. The right attitude is a must, experience is not always the most important thing. The ideal Head Chef candidate will:

• Be fluent in English
• Have already been working as a Head Chef in a busy environment
• Have an eye for detail; always upholding the highest standards and ensuring every shift is in the very safest pair of hands.
• Be a great leader who really cares about people. Your nurturing approach will make coaching and developing other members of the team a natural focus.
• Have a ‘Ja Tak’ attitude (Ja Tak is a Danish phrase meaning "Yes, Thank you")
• Have a genuine commitment to making people happy - guest and team alike – to ensure you have one of the happiest teams in the business and guests that turn into regulars and regulars into friends.
• Want to be part of a company that can help you flourish and become the best you can be.
• Being flexible is key to success in the role.
• Big smile, small ego
