Job Title: Sous Chef

Operations - Milton Keynes

Contract: Full Time
Salary: £34,200 to £36,201
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. Today, we have over 70 restaurants worldwide, more than 300 kiosks in the UK, with grocery products and pre-pack sushi in major supermarkets.

We are looking for dynamic individuals with a love and passion for food to join us on our exciting journey. Our people are at the heart of what we do:

• Be a role model, with an appetite for success and a thirst for delivering exceptional results.
• Be ambitious and eager to learn.
• Always strive to do your best.
• Be enthusiastic and maintain a positive attitude.
• Embrace challenges with a can-do attitude.
• Want to be part of our success story.

What you will be doing:

The Sous Chef is responsible for delivering a great experience for both our team and guests. You are passionate about our food and will support the management team across the restaurant. Ensuring happy teams and guests is your mantra. You will run engaging shifts, develop the team, and understand all aspects of the business. You are comfortable in all kitchen sections, including fish cutting, rice cooking, sushi rolling, and daily kitchen prep. You strive to improve the food quality continually and are committed to a safe kitchen and restaurant environment.

We're proud to offer:

• Excellent working hours
• Free YO! food during shifts, with a selection from our menu
• Support for professional qualifications up to Degree level while working
• Wellbeing services, including private medical plan and 24/7 Employee Assistance Line
• Discounted gym memberships, cinema tickets, dining, and retail offers
• 50% off your food when dining with us, plus for 3 friends
• Sustainability initiatives: sourcing 100% of salmon from certified sustainable sources, avoiding species to be 'Fish to Avoid', and 1/3 of our menu is plant-led, supporting UN sustainability goals.
