About the role

This isn't just a job behind a sink—it's the engine room of our restaurant. We are looking for someone who is ready to roll up their sleeves, work hard, and eventually take on more responsibilities in the kitchen.

• A willingness to learn—you don't need years of experience, but you must want to learn
• Reliability—showing up on time and ready to work is non-negotiable
• Physical stamina—you will be on your feet, moving quickly, and occasionally lifting heavy pots throughout your shift
• Must be available on Friday; flexibility to work daytime shift and weekends
