Sakura Sushi & Grill, voted Best Sushi Restaurant in Albuquerque for 2021, 2022, ND 2023 by Albuquerque Magazine, is located near Coors and Montano 6241 Riverside Plaza Lane NW, Suite C-1, Albuquerque 87120. We are fast paced, but we pride ourselves in our outstanding wait service. We were also voted the number ONE Best Restaurant in Albuquerque in 2022 AND 2023 for Take Out Service—out of over 2,000 restaurants. In Jan 2023, we were ranked by Restaurant Guru as the Number ONE restaurant in Albuquerque, out of over 2,700. We are looking for a fast, dependable, experienced fry cook and prep cook.
Must interact well with other employees.
We fly in top quality, premium fish weekly, so you have the best ingredients. We are fast paced, but we pride ourselves in our superior ingredients and quality Cooks and Sushi Chefs that create our gastronomic art.
We are looking for an experienced prep cook or fry cook; however, we are also willing to train someone with less experienceas long as you are serious about a LONG term career in this business. You must be able to work HARD, work most Fri and Sat dinner shifts, and have good dexterity. Quick knife skills is a must-eventually.
Punctuality is important to us and frequent no shows will not be tolerated. We are closed on Sundays and Monday lunch. We will try to move you around so you have some variety in your job. You will work as the prep cook. This means cutting lots of food. Then, we might move you to handling the fryer and cooking things like tempura shrimp. Then, we might have you prep some of the sushi items. Slowly, we will expand your job and you will be making complete entrees by yourself. The faster you learn, the quicker you can become a fully qualified Cook. Your pay would be based on your skill, speed, and knowledge. As a true beginner, your Prep Cook pay would start at $12/hour. As you develop your knowledge, speed, and skill, your pay will go up. If you show up with considerable skills, you will start out with higher pay. We just have to see you in action.
Here are the talents we are looking for, in order of importance:
1. A sense of responsibility to yourself and to those around you
2. Honest and fair with those around you (luckily, these will be the people you work with!)
3. Willingness to learn and train
4. Ability to think quickly and prioritize tasks
5. Excellent dexterity and ability to work quickly
6. Interact well with fellow employees and vendors
7. Comfortable working hard (l believe you should also play hard, but that's just my philosophy) Seasoned professionals are entitled to paid vacation/sick leave which you can cash in if you don't use it. If you are a beginner, you may qualify for this benefit beginning your second year-depending on your skill. If you are not quite there, you will know exactly what skill(s) you have to develop in order to eventually qualify.
We have a great team of employees, and we try to treat everyone as part of our family. Come join our team.
If interested, please e-mail a resume to Bill Swiderek. [email protected] If you have no experience, call me (505) 362-1204.
20 - 30 hrs/week. We will start you out on the slower shifts until your speed picks up. Maybe more hours laterif you want.
