Full Job Description

About Us:

Grain + Sea is a modern, buffet-style sushi restaurant where guests build their perfect sushi box and pay by weight. With over 30 fresh options, from classic nigiri to creative specialty rolls, we’re here to make sushi fun, fast, and fresh - without compromising on quality.

We're looking for people who are passionate about food, love working on a team, and are ready to grow with us!

Responsibilities:

Manual Sanitation

Maintain the three-compartment sink setup (wash, rinse, sanitize) with constant water monitoring and chemical concentration checks to ensure compliance with health department standards.
Execute rapid, thorough cleaning of all plates, bowls, and serving trays, ensuring they are scrubbed, rinsed, and sanitized effectively during peak demand.
Safely hand-wash and immediately dry delicate sushi equipment, specifically carbon steel knives, hangiri (wooden rice tubs), and bamboo mats, to prevent rust, warping, or bacterial growth.
Ensure all boards and knives are sanitized according to the strict protocols required for a sushi-focused environment to prevent cross-contamination.

Kitchen Prep Support

Assist the kitchen team by washing, peeling, and prepping vegetables as directed by the lead chef.
Perform the labor-intensive process of rinsing sushi rice until the water runs clear and maintaining the cleanliness of rice cookers and storage vessels.
Proactively clear and organize the prep area to ensure sushi chefs have a clean, clutter-free station to work on, even during the busiest rush.
Assist with putting away food deliveries, ensuring all items are properly labeled, dated, and rotated using the FIFO method.

Requirements:

Prior kitchen experience is preferred
Ability to maintain a consistent, high-speed pace at the sinks throughout the entire shift to prevent backlogs of dirty dishes.
Respect for the investment in your kitchen tools; understanding that these items require specific drying and storage techniques beyond standard dishware
Positive attitude and strong teamwork skills
Punctual, professional, and eager to grow

Benefits:

Competitive pay
Free staff meal during shift
Flexible scheduling
Opportunities for advancement as we grow

Pay: From $17.05 per hour

Experience:

Kitchen: 1 year (Preferred)

Shift availability:

Day Shift (Required)

Work Location: In person
