Who we are and what we do

Were YO! Sushi were all about fast and fresh Japanese food, served up daily in a cool Tokyo-style conveyor belt restaurant. Were all about our people, too, and were dedicated to looking after them. As part of our team youll get real responsibility from the start, including putting your own stamp on our fresh and delicious menu.

Who were looking for

First off you dont need to be a sushi chef to work here. Well train you in every aspect of sushi preparation, from teriyaki to your temaki. Whats really important is that youre passionate about taking fresh, fine ingredients, like our sustainable fish and locally-grown produce and transforming them from scratch into something that will delight the customers sitting around you at the belt.

You also need to be passionate about people, and get as much of a kick out of developing, supporting and nurturing your teams talents as you do from rolling the perfect maki. Our chefs are leaders, and we give them lots of freedom from choosing what to order each week to interacting with guests across the belt from our busy open kitchens.

getting the chance to develop your Asian food skills and attend an amazing range of training sessions and chef competitions
leading and developing your team, using your management skills to bring out their individual strengths
enjoying a vibrant, friendly atmosphere in an open kitchen with a great work-life balance, and you wont be stuck in back of house with the same faces each day
getting your voice heard we have a flat structure with a free flow of ideas, and we make sure everyone gets their say, from junior team members to the CEO
The chance to grow, we take peoples careers seriously and like to home grow our talent.

To succeed here youll need:

several years experience in a kitchen, leading and developing a team
a passion for learning and expanding your culinary skills, embracing each challenge and being open to new ideas
the ability to develop and mentor more junior staff, both individually and as part of an efficient, happy team
natural leadership qualities, with excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think calmly and fast
Great communication skills youll be comfortable serving customers too
