Job Description

Lead Sushi Chef – New Ghost Kitchen Concept

Location:   Livingston, NJ
Position:   Full-Time

Build Something New From the Ground Up

We're launching an exciting new sushi concept operating from the established kitchen of a  popular restaurant  in Livingston, NJ that has been around for over 50 years . Unlike a traditional sushi restaurant, this is a   takeout and delivery-first ghost kitchen   focused on one thing: exceptional sushi without the distractions of full-service dining.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced sushi chef to lead a new concept from day one and play a key role in shaping its future.

What Makes This Different

  • No dining room.

  • No table service.

  • No late-night restaurant chaos.

  • No managing front-of-house operations.

Instead, you'll focus on what matters most:

  • Selecting and preparing premium-quality fish.

  • Crafting beautiful nigiri with precision and consistency.

  • Producing a curated menu of simple, high-quality maki rolls.

  • Building efficient systems for a fast-growing takeout and delivery brand.

Our initial menu will feature premium sushi boxes centered around expertly prepared nigiri, complemented by a limited selection of classic maki rolls. We believe in doing fewer things exceptionally well rather than offering an overwhelming menu.

Responsibilities

  • Lead all sushi production and daily operations of the ghost kitchen.

  • Prepare premium fish with exceptional knife skills and attention to detail.

  • Maintain the highest standards of food safety, sanitation, and quality.

  • Assist in refining menu offerings and presentation.

  • Manage ordering, inventory, and product quality.

  • Help establish operational standards as the concept grows.

We're Looking For

  • Authentic sushi experience with strong traditional preparation techniques.

  • Passion for sourcing and handling premium seafood.

  • Pride in craftsmanship and consistency.

  • Ability to work independently while building a new operation.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset and excitement about growing a brand from the ground up.

  • Experience managing kitchen operations is a plus.

Why Join Us?

This isn't just another sushi chef position.

You'll have the opportunity to build a concept from its inception with the support and stability of an established restaurant. Your expertise will directly influence the menu, operations, and future expansion of the brand.

If you've ever wanted to focus on producing exceptional sushi without the pressures of a full-service restaurant, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Competitive compensation will be based on experience, with significant opportunities for growth as the concept expands.
