Umami Riot Experience

Job Type

Full-time

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 - $25 per hour based on experience
