Sushi Team Member

Incredible Opportunity at The Bay Sushi Bar - Immediate Hiring for a Skilled, Dynamic Sushi Team Member

Maybe you’re tired of the same four walls, the same sad sandwich, the same boss who says “teamwork” but means “you do everything.” Maybe—just maybe—you’d rather spend your time making something beautiful. Something edible. Something that makes people close their eyes and go, “Wow.”

Good. We like you already.

Welcome to The Bay Sushi Team, where rice is serious business, knives are treated with respect, and nobody pretends sushi just “rolls itself.” (It doesn’t. We checked.)

We’re looking for a Sushi Team Member—a human being with hands, a sense of humor, and at least a mild appreciation for not ruining perfectly good fish.

• You don’t have to be a sushi master (yet). But you do need:
• A willingness to learn
• The ability to move quickly without losing your mind
• And the understanding that “just one more roll” is never just one more roll
• What you’ll actually do:
• Roll sushi like your reputation depends on it (because it kind of does)
• Keep things clean, sharp, and not on fire
• Learn techniques that make you look way cooler than you currently are
• What you get in return (besides mild glory):
• Employee discounts (eat like a champion)
• Medical insurance (because life happens)
• 401k (future you says thanks)
• Real skills you can carry anywhere—even if you someday abandon us for something foolish, like accounting

The vibe:

We’re a team. Not the fake kind that says “we’re family” and then forgets your name. The real kind. We show up, we work hard, we help each other, and we occasionally laugh at things that shouldn’t be funny.

If you want a job where time moves fast, your hands stay busy, and you leave knowing you actually made something—this is it.

• Basic English communication skills preferred
• Ability to work efficiently under pressure and as part of a team
• Knowledge of kitchen operations, sanitation, and food storage
• Safe and proficient use of sharp knives
• Serv Safe certification can be obtained after hiring

• Must be at least 18 years old
• Capable of lifting 50 lbs and standing for up to 8 hours
