Te No Te

Title: Guest-Facing Sushi Chef – Te No Te | Handroll Counter

Te No Te is hiring a Guest-Facing Sushi Chef for a small Japanese handroll, snacks, and drinks concept in NYC.

The menu centers on open-faced temaki, Japanese snacks, sake, shochu-based drinks, mocktails, tea, and a warm, focused guest experience. This role is not a hidden back-of-house sushi position and it is not formal omakase counter service. It sits in between: clean technique, warm guest interaction, organized station work, and approachable explanations for guests.

This is a strong fit for someone with sushi, handroll, raw seafood, Japanese restaurant, counter-service, or guest-facing chef experience who wants to be part of a small opening team.

What you’ll do

  • Prepare and serve open-faced temaki and related sushi/seafood items

  • Work cleanly and confidently in front of guests

  • Maintain organized mise en place, product handling, sanitation, and station setup

  • Explain menu items and ingredients in a clear, approachable way

  • Support guest flow, pacing, setup, cleaning, receiving, and service needs

  • Cross-train and help outside one narrow station as the opening team builds systems

Who we’re looking for

  • Professional sushi, seafood, handroll, Japanese restaurant, or counter-service experience

  • Comfortable working directly in front of guests

  • Warm, calm, clean, and organized

  • Able to work independently in a small team

  • Flexible during an opening environment

  • Available full-time or at least 4 shifts per week

  • Evening and weekend availability required

Compensation
$11.35/hr plus tips. Paid training provided. Sushi Chef shifts have a minimum floor of $150 per shift for four weeks after opening.

Schedule
Full-time Wednesday - Sunday. Evening and weekend availability required.

Please apply with your resume and current availability.

Benefits

Paid Sick Leave, Shift Meal, Dining Discounts
