Job Description
Nippon Curry is a vibrant and innovative cloud kitchen concept specializing in authentic, award-winning Japanese curry. With its origins in San Francisco in February 2021, Nippon Curry has quickly expanded to open a second shop in Berkeley, bringing its unique flavors and culinary expertise to a wider audience. Known for blending traditional Japanese cooking techniques with modern dining experiences, Nippon Curry combines quality ingredients, meticulous preparation, and excellent customer service to create a memorable culinary journey for its patrons. This dynamic and fast-growing company is dedicated to maintaining high standards of food quality, workplace safety, and team collaboration in a fast-paced kitchen environment.
We are currently seeking a reliable, trustworthy, and experienced cook to join our team at our new cloud kitchen located in Downtown San Jose. This full-time position is ideal for someone with at least two years of experience in a fast-paced restaurant environment who is passionate about Japanese cuisine and eager to contribute to an exciting new concept. At Nippon Curry, we value independence but also emphasize teamwork and clear communication. The successful candidate will be responsible for executing food preparation and fulfilling orders for various service modes including dine-in, delivery, and takeout. Although we provide training specifically for how to prepare our signature dishes, prior cooking experience and proper food handling knowledge are essential.
In this role, you will play a crucial part in maintaining the efficiency and quality of our kitchen operations. Duties will include ingredient preparation, controlling inventory, ensuring compliance with strict sanitation and safety standards, and maintaining a clean work environment. You will work closely with management and other team members, ensuring smooth kitchen workflow and excellent customer service. We seek proactive individuals with strong organizational and interpersonal skills who can contribute positively to our dynamic team. Additionally, possessing a valid California Driver's License is required which may be pertinent for logistical support or supply coordination.
If you are looking to join a growing and respected brand in the food service industry and thrive in a collaborative yet independent working environment, Nippon Curry offers an exciting opportunity with potential growth, competitive pay, and a chance to make a direct impact on our culinary delivery.
