- Assist with prep production, station setup, and breakdown
- Communicate clearly with the kitchen and front-of-house teams

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Previous line or prep experience preferred; experience in Japanese, sushi, seafood, or other refined kitchens is strongly valued
- Ability to work independently and reliably in a small, fast-paced kitchen
- Strong work ethic, organization, and attention to detail
- Calm and focused under pressure, with a collaborative, no-ego approach
- Flexible availability, including evenings, weekends, and holidays
