matsudai ramen is looking for the right person to join our restaurant team

We're seeking someone with drive and commitment to join the kitchen team at our Grangetown restaurant. We have loads of fun looking after 100s of people each week at our 66-seat ramen shop with a busy open kitchen. You'll be working with a small, talented team and highly involved in making Matsudai Ramen a great place to be.

“Probably the best ramen in the whole UK” – Tim Anderson

The main responsibilities of this role will include:

• Prepping and plating top quality food with precision and efficiency
• Carrying out opening, closing and cleaning checklists to keep our kitchen clean and safe
• Giving great handovers and diligent prep lists for colleagues
• Supporting kitchen management with inventory management and due diligence records
• Contributing towards a collaborative and supportive kitchen with high standards
• Implementing cleaning regimes to keep our production kitchen sparkling

You'll need great taste, a willingness to learn (all the geeky precision of ramen) and enthusiasm for what we do at Matsudai. You'll be a great communicator and collaborator and thrive in a fast-paced kitchen. Some kitchen experience is essential, but attitude and aptitude are just as important as your CV. You'll need to be 18 or older to fulfil this role.

Working week: Full time. Our kitchen is currently open Tuesday - Friday evening and for lunch and dinner Saturday and Sunday. We close our kitchen at 9 – 9:30pm and pride ourselves on offering our team great work / life balance.

Renumeration: Our staff earn a base starting rate of £11.50 / hour plus healthy tips.

Perks: We’ll feed you, of course. And you eat for free on your days off too, with further staff discount applied to your whole bill. You’ll also get a day off for your birthday.

Development: Got a thing for miso? Pickling? Sustainability in the kitchen? We’re a small, growing independent business. There’s room and support to grow and geek out here, and all great ideas are welcome!
