Location: Culver City,CA, USA
We are in search of a talented executive chef that lives and breathes sushi. This is for an opening of a high end, Michelin quality restaurant doing Omakase and Izakaya dining. The venue will have a private room as well as separate dining room for dining.
This chef must be incredibly innovative as ownership is looking to not only make this one of the must go to sushi venues in Los Angeles but plans on opening several locations with this concept. This is NOT about innovative rolls but about serving pristine product in an amazing environment. Presentations must be jaw dropping, offerings must be unique and the menu should make ever diner know they must come back for more.
The right candidate is relentless in their pursuit of the best of the best when it comes to all product and is constantly looking for new or better product.
This chef also has a strong command of food and labor cost, and it would be preferred that this chef has opened at least one restaurant in their past. You must have strong teaching and training skills and be a hands-on chef. This is NOT for a chef that doesn't want to cook daily and “touch” every plate that leaves their kitchen. You must have run a successful kitchen
The restaurant will be in Los Angeles and we are only entertaining chefs that are currently legally allowed to work in the US (sponsorship is not an option). Starting base salary offered is up to $120K plus bonus and benefits. There will be at least one trip to Japan for R&D so you also must be able to travel internationally. Relocation assistance may be an option for the right chef.
