Aloha! We are looking for dynamic team members for Pokemoto in Somerville MA. Pokemoto is a steadily growing, culture rich concept aiming to become a global brand. Pokemoto shops offer Hawaiian style poke bowls and an exceptional experience that is quick, healthy, affordable, and most importantly delicious. We are looking to add smiling faces that like to have fun while they keep a clean restaurant and work hard to take care of our customers quickly - is that you? Our restaurant is set up in an assembly line style; you must learn to work quickly with your team members to handle the flow of in-house customers and delivery orders. We have a lot of food prep that occurs in the morning and afternoon but no grills or fryers to clean, no vent hoods, and we listen to great music!
