• Champion a culture of food and workplace safety, including HACCP compliance
• Accurately complete and log required QA checks via the Procurant device per company food safety standards
• Treat every guest and colleague with professionalism, care, and respect
• Communicate honestly, accurately, and promptly with leadership

What You Bring

• Minimum 3 years of related experience in upscale sushi operations
• Proven experience preparing and producing sushi in high-volume settings
• Supervisory, leadership, coaching, training, and management skills
• Excellent, precise knife skills
• A self-starter mindset — innovative, adaptable, and skilled at multitasking
• A positive attitude that motivates and energizes your team
• Strong knowledge of HACCP controls, proper food storage, and safe handling principles
• A finger on the pulse of current culinary and food trends
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office
• The highest standards of personal integrity and ethical conduct
• Valid ServSafe certification, or ability to obtain within 30 days of hire

Why Join Us

At Eurest, we believe great food starts with great people. You'll have the opportunity to lead a station, mentor a team, and shape a guest experience that reflects real culinary craft and genuine hospitality — all backed by the resources and support of Compass Group, a global leader in foodservice.
