Catering & Events Sales Manager (Fast Casual)

Fuku is an innovative fast-casual restaurant brand that originated from the vibrant culinary scene of New York City under the guidance of renowned chef David Chang. Initially, Fuku began as an off-menu item at Momofuku Noodle Bar in NYC, where its signature sandwich, lovingly crafted by the chefs, gained instant popularity. Due to overwhelming demand and its growing fame, Fuku transitioned from being a secret menu favorite to establishing its standalone East Village location in 2015. Since then, Fuku has grown into a beloved brand known for its unique and crave-worthy sandwich offerings, blending bold flavors with casual dining convenience.

Today, Fuku continues to expand its presence with multiple restaurants in South Florida, including key locations in Coral Gables and West Palm Beach. As a rapidly growing fast-casual establishment, Fuku prides itself on maintaining the essence of its original culinary roots while scaling operations to meet increasing demand. The company fosters a culture of creativity, excellence, and community engagement, making it an exciting place for ambitious professionals to contribute to its ongoing success.
