Prep Cook

$19–$21 per hour depending on experience | Full-time or part-time | New York, NY

Hikari Brunch Co. is hiring a Prep Cook to join our kitchen team. We’re a modern Japanese breakfast and brunch concept looking for someone who enjoys hands-on kitchen work, works neatly, and wants to learn our menu.

You’ll wash, cut, and portion ingredients, prepare sauces and other recipe components, and help keep the kitchen ready for service. As you’re trained, you may also assist with simple cooking, plating, and order assembly. The job includes accurate labeling, stock rotation, cleaning, and keeping the line supplied.

Kitchen experience and basic knife skills are preferred. Experience with Japanese ingredients or breakfast and brunch preparation is welcome, but not required. We’ll also consider someone with less experience who is dependable, follows instructions, and takes the work seriously.

We’re looking for someone who pays attention to detail, communicates clearly, and follows our food safety and allergy procedures. The upper end of the range is for a cook who can complete prep independently and support a service station as needed.

Expected hours and shifts: 6 am - 2 pm, 5-6 shifts. Paid training, sick leave, staff meals, insurance, additional paid time off, retirement, and any other compensation or benefits; specify where none are offered. Required training is paid.

Hikari Brunch Co. is an equal opportunity employer. Reasonable accommodations are available for the application process and essential job duties.
