Hi all,
So I'm helping to open a Japanese market opening up in the Brookline suburb of Boston. We'll be selling fresh Japanese breads/pastries, imported top of the line beef, fresh fish, and all the other standard Japanese market fare. In addition, we'll be doing daily bento, MTO sushi, ramen, as well as a cafe selling the venerable Ogawa Coffee brand.
We are looking for additional staff to work any of the following areas:
1) general grocery/register
2) ramen
3) fish butchering/sushi
4) coffee/cafe
5) kitchen/bento
Each of these will start at around $15/hr (salary negotiable based on experience). If you are full-time, there are benefits included. We're a friendly bunch that's excited to share products we love and to pass on some of the skills we've acquired. We do have a very high standard of excellence however. The staff at Ogawa Coffee has trained two of the former World Latte Art Champions - but their commitment to taste is even higher than their commitment to beautiful drinks. Our sushi/fish staff have 20+ years experience cutting fish at some of the largest Japanese markets in the country and have trained with former Tsukiji sushi chefs.
If you have the skills or the aptitude to learn, the pay has the potential to increase pretty quickly. Bilingual Japanese/English is a HUGE plus (as of right now I'm one of only two fluent English speakers). If you don't speak Japanese, the willingness to try to communicate is a necessity. All of the current employees speak Japanese, but the English is at varying levels. Miscommunications will happen, but attitude is what's most important.
Please PM me if you're interested and I'll reply with next steps!
Thanks for looking and best wishes,
Josh
