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 - translated through a distinctly Boston lens. At Umami Riot, we're not here to follow the rules of hospitality, we're here to rewrite them - with heart, craft and fearless creativity.
Hojoko is where it all comes to life. A Japanese-inspired tavern fueled by loud music, high energy, and seriously good food. It's where high-end technique meets low-key fun-wagyu cheeseburgers, spicy ramen, sake bombs-executed with the same precision and care as a fine dining kitchen. We take flavor seriously...everything else, not so much.
We're looking for a Sous Chef who leads from the line, sharpens the team, and keeps the kitchen firing on all cylinders.
THE GIG (AKA WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY BE DOING)
THIS ROLE IS A GREAT FIT IF...
Requirements
LET'S SET EXPECTATIONS (IN A GOOD WAY)
This is a fast-paced kitchen fueled by movement, heat, music, and momentum, where you're on your feet, working with knives, fire, and focus throughout each shift.
Yes - this is a hands-on role. You'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 we're committed to providing reasonable accommodations to support individuals in performing the essential functions of the role.
WHY PEOPLE STICK AROUND
Annual Pay Range: $55,000 - $75,000 based on experience
