Server / Chef Hybrid Role

Encouraged: Chefs interested in a hybrid BOH / FOH role (no sushi experience required).

The Job
Welcome to Server Heaven. Where sustainability is key, stress is low, and your body will thank you.

• We're only ~ 500 square feet
• Your section is 2 tables. Capacity 4 each. Two turns an evening.
• Shorter shifts (6.5 - 7 hours). 4:30 - 10:30/11.  
• Time Off = 4 - 5 weeks annually. Paid, with tenure.
• 3 weeks Dec / Jan (this year: Dec 22nd to January 12th)
• One week in April
• One week in August

Available Shifts:
Whether your ideal is 2, 3, 4, or 5 days per week, we'd like to hear from you.

• Core, necessary shifts: Fri & Sat
• Also available: Wed, Thurs, Sun
  

Compensation
We're offering a steady hourly range relative to one's experience and ability, plus additional gratuity above our service charge (estimated at $2/hr). This service-included model allows us to pay everyone in-house a generous, livable wage: from our lovely, dedicated dishwasher to the assistant chefs. Fairness (for everyone involved) is important to us.

Our Needs
We're opening up our 2 bay window tables after years of only seating the omakase counter. You'll also help the 2-3 chefs at the counter serve drinks. 

Our Ideal
Our ideal hire is not necessarily an industry veteran (though that certainly helps). It's someone who is able to be precise, gracious, and, perhaps most importantly, kind / dependable. So if you'd like to moonlight on weekends, that works too. 

Low-Ego Philosophy
At this level it’s a small world, so we should all be interested in one another's long-term needs. To wit: this is a great place to work, but it’s not everyone’s last stop in life. We genuinely care about supporting those we work with, during and after our time together, which sometimes includes saying goodbye. With respect, grace, and a helping hand to get you your next dream job.

Reputation
For better or worse, reputation matters in the culinary world. We are Michelin recommended since we opened our doors. Our Google and Yelp ratings are 5 and 4.9, respectively.

Next Steps:

1. Please send your experience. Resumes are nice, but it need not be fancy. We care more about who you are and who you'd like to become.

2. Please tell us who you are, in your own words. Not just what you can do for us, but what we can also do for you (e.g. what your dream position / schedule / etc. looks like). 

Of note, the position:

• Occasionally requires the ability to move, lift, or heavy objects without assistance (up to 30 pounds)
• Must be able to stand for 3-4 hours at a time, and up to 8+ hours per shift
• Must be able to carry a tray of beverages
