Waiter

7 Kensington Mall, London, W8 4EB, UNITED KINGDOM

Pay: £14.50-£16.00 per hour
Location: Notting Hill
Experience required: Minimum two years in a fast-paced, high-end restaurant

NAKIMUSHI is a new dual-format Japanese townhouse from the team behind Michelin-starred Dorian, EEL Sushi, Supermarket of Dreams and the Notting Hill Fish + Meat Shop.

Created through a collaboration between two popular residencies - Urchin by chef Yuji Shimokawa Kelly and Robin's Ramen by chef Robin Kosuge - NAKIMUSHI brings two distinct but complementary Japanese dining experiences together under one roof.

The ground floor will operate as a fast-paced ramen bar with an open kitchen and shared seating, while the upper-floor restaurant and bar will explore a broader style of Japanese cooking, centred around ramen, robata-grilled seafood, carefully sourced meat and exceptional produce.

We are now looking for an experienced Waiter to join the opening team.
