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.

o ya is a refined, chef-driven dining experience rooted in precision, technique, and intentional hospitality. Every dish reflects discipline, creativity, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. This is an opportunity to work in a Michelin-minded environment where craftsmanship matters and growth is earned through dedication to the art.


Weโ€™re looking for a Line Cook who works with intention, respects the craft, and understands that precision is power.


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

  • Bold, crave-worthy food executed with intention โ€” dishes that guests actually talk about
  • Grill, fry, prep, and live-fire stations worked with focus alongside a strong, supportive team
  • Stations set up clean, kept dialed throughout service, and handed off better than they were found
  • Clean, organized, and food-safe execution maintained at all times โ€” details matter here
  • Clear communication and collaboration that keep service moving smoothly, even when the pace is high
  • Full engagement in a fast-paced kitchen fueled by energy, movement, music, and momentum โ€” when one person wins, the whole team wins

THIS ROLE IS A GREAT FIT IFโ€ฆ

  • You like kitchens that feel alive, not robotic
  • You enjoy learning new techniques and flavors
  • You care about doing things well, even when itโ€™s busy
  • You show up dependable, curious, and ready to work
  • You want to be part of a team that respects each other
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
  • Growth thatโ€™s real (not just talked about)
  • A team culture rooted in respect, creativity, and heart

Pay Range: $18 - $25 per hour based on experience
