Job description

Description:

Umami Riot was born from a simple idea: pair joyful hospitality with uncompromising craftsmanship. Founded by Chef Tim Cushman and sake expert Nancy Cushman, our restaurants celebrate bold flavor, precision, and a deep respect for Japanese foodways โ€“ translated through a distinctly Boston lens. At Umami Riot, weโ€™re not here to follow the rules of hospitality, weโ€™re here to rewrite them โ€“ with heart, craft and fearless creativity.


Fenway Food Hall is looking for a Prep Cook who sets the foundation, sharpens the details, and keeps the kitchen one step ahead.


THE GIG (AKA WHAT YOUโ€™LL ACTUALLY BE DOING)

  • Calm, precise preparation sets the tone for service โ€” when prep is tight, the entire kitchen moves better
  • Ingredients prepared accurately and consistently according to prep lists, recipes, and standards, with knife work and portioning treated as craft
  • Support of basic cooking tasks and continuous communication with the culinary team to keep service flowing
  • Prep areas, equipment, and storage spaces kept clean, organized, and dialed in, with labeling, rotation, and food handling done to safety standards
  • Full engagement in an active kitchen environment, moving with purpose through long shifts in tight spaces and handling the physical rhythm of daily prep work
  • Dependability and professionalism brought to every shift, with full availability for nights, weekends, and holidays when the kitchen counts on its foundation

THIS ROLE IS A GREAT FIT IFโ€ฆ

  • You love working with your hands and dialing in the details
  • You find satisfaction in clean cuts, organized prep, and a tight station
  • You thrive in fast-paced kitchens without losing focus
  • You listen, learn, and take direction with confidence
  • You understand that prep is the backbone of great service
  • You bring consistency, integrity, and quiet confidence to your work
Requirements:

LETโ€™S SET EXPECTATIONS (IN A GOOD WAY)


This is a fast-paced kitchen fueled by movement, heat, music, and momentum, where youโ€™re on your feet, working with knives, fire, and focus throughout each shift.


Yes โ€” this is a hands-on role. Youโ€™ll be active for long shifts, lifting up to 50 lbs., bending, reaching, and moving easily through tight spaces. A disciplined commitment to sanitation, safety, and cleanliness is part of the craft here, and weโ€™re committed to providing reasonable accommodations to support individuals in performing the essential functions of the role.


WHY PEOPLE STICK AROUND

  • Competitive hourly pay - because your work matters
  • Dining discounts across all Umami Riot locations
  • Free parking
  • Growth thatโ€™s real (not just talked about)
  • A team culture rooted in respect, creativity, and heart

Pay Range: $18 - $23 per hour based on experience
