Job Description
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 – 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 Line Cook who wants more than just a job. If you want adrenaline, growth, and pride on the plate—read on.
THE GIG (AKA WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY BE DOING)
- Bold, crave-worthy food executed with intention — 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 — 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 — when one person wins, the whole team wins
THIS ROLE IS A GREAT FIT IF…
- You like kitchens that feel alive, not robotic
- You enjoy learning new techniques and flavors
- You care about doing things well, even when it’s busy
- You show up dependable, curious, and ready to work
- You want to be part of a team that respects each other
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
- Competitive hourly pay - because your work matters
- Dining discounts across all Umami Riot locations
- Growth that’s real (not just talked about)
- A team culture rooted in respect, creativity, and heart
Pay Range $18-$22 based on experience
