Job description

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.

Who we’re looking for:

• Food lovers who enjoy being part of a buzzing, fast-paced environment
• Friendly, outgoing personalities who know how to make guests feel welcome
• Energetic team players who bring positivity to every shift
• People with extra time on their hands who want flexible seasonal work
• Individuals who take pride in delivering great service with a smile

ABOUT YOU

• Customer-focused and confident communicating with guests
• Friendly, energetic, and team-orientated
• Reliable with the ability to work in a fast-moving environment
• Previous front-of-house experience is helpful but not required
