Head Chef Operations - Milton Keynes
Contract: Full Time
Salary: GBP36,202 - GBP38,201
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 across the UK, and grocery products and pre-packaged sushi in most major UK 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:
* You will be a role model, with an appetite for success and a thirst for delivering exceptional results.
* You will be ambitious and eager to learn.
* You will always strive to do your best.
* You will be enthusiastic and maintain a positive disposition.
* You will embrace challenges head-on with a can-do attitude.
* You will want to be part of our success story.
What you will be doing:
The Head Chef is responsible for the entire operation of their YO! Kitchen and ultimately accountable for the safety of our teams and guests.
Leading and inspiring the kitchen team, you are obsessive about food quality, adherence to specifications, and can prepare each YO! dish brilliantly. Happy teams and happy guests are the mantra by which you live, and you instill this approach across your team. You are passionate about delivering an incredible guest experience, developing your team to Super Squad status, and driving profitability through effective control of food costs.
You are comfortable and natural in all kitchen sections, capable of cutting fish, cooking rice, rolling sushi, and preparing the kitchen daily. You are an inspirational presence during high-energy shifts, ensuring each part of the day delivers an outstanding experience for guests and staff alike.
We're proud to offer:
* Excellent working hours
