Matsudai Ramen is Wales’ first and only purveyor of no-corners-cut cult ramen, shipping all over the UK.

Jay Rayner, for the Observer – “I ordered one during one of the longer lockdowns and it was a joyous burst of sunshine at our table amid the darkness. The tonkotsu broths, made by boiling pork bones for a dozen hours or more until the stock takes on a white, creamy, lip-smacking, gelatine-rich vigour, had profound depth. The noodles had necessary bite. The eggs had perfectly jellied yolks; remarkable when served in a restaurant, a small miracle when delivered halfway across the country.”

We're looking for a dynamic individual to join our production team in Taffs Well, where we create hundreds of restaurant-quality ramen kits each week, as well as supplying our Grangetown ramen bar.

The main responsibilities of this role will include:

  • Learning the intricacies of ramen and following Matsudai recipes to ensure the precision and quality of our kits
  • Supporting the Production Manager with record keeping, inventory management and ordering
  • Contributing to smooth production planning
  • Organising and leading the team on shift
  • Adhering to all policies and procedures designed to keep our food and our team safe
  • Implementing cleaning regimes to keep our production kitchen sparkling

Kitchen experience is essential, as is positivity, good communication, initiative, attention to detail and pride in your work. Experience of supervising is desirable. We’re also interested to hear from candidates with experience in a production or manufacturing kitchen. We are located close to transport links, 20 minutes from Cardiff Central, and offer the opportunity to be an integral part of a small, dedicated and supportive team.

Working week: Full time, 40 hours. Shifts are scheduled between 8am – 10pm, Monday - Saturday

Renumeration: £12 / hour + tips

Perks: You’ll eat for free at our Grangetown restaurant, earn tips via the shop on our website, and 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!
