🏢 About Baytoti
Baytoti is a verified restaurant company with operations across Saudi Arabia — listed on SaudiaJobs.net since October 2024. The company operates in Jeddah and Riyadh and is building a talented culinary team to deliver an exceptional Japanese dining experience. They are looking for a Sushi Chef who combines technical mastery with creativity and a genuine love for Japanese cuisine — someone who can consistently deliver beautiful, high-quality sushi in a professional restaurant environment.
📝 Key Responsibilities
- Prepare and present a comprehensive range of authentic sushi and Japanese cuisine — including nigiri, maki, temaki, uramaki, sashimi, and specialty rolls — to consistently high quality and presentation standards.
- Manage all aspects of the sushi station — from rice preparation and fish portioning through to roll assembly, plating, and service — maintaining authentic flavors and impeccable presentation on every dish.
- Prepare and cook a broader range of Japanese culinary dishes alongside sushi — such as tempura, edamame, miso soup, and other accompaniments as required by the menu.
- Handle and prepare fresh seafood and raw fish with the highest standards of food safety and hygiene — following strict temperature control, storage, and HACCP principles for raw fish handling.
- Maintain consistency in taste, texture, and visual presentation across every sushi order — delivering the same high standard whether the restaurant is quiet or operating at full capacity.
- Develop creative and seasonal sushi menu additions and specialty rolls — contributing culinary ideas that elevate the dining experience.
- Manage sushi station ingredient inventory — monitoring stock levels, freshness, and restocking requirements throughout every service period.
- Maintain strict food safety, kitchen hygiene, and sanitation standards at the sushi station throughout every shift.
✅ Requirements
- Proven hands-on experience as a Sushi Chef or Japanese Cuisine Chef — significant practical experience in a restaurant environment is essential.
- Strong knowledge of Japanese cuisine — sushi preparation techniques, knife skills, rice preparation, and seafood handling.
- Experience working in casual dining or fine dining restaurant environments — ability to maintain quality and professionalism across different service styles.
- Meticulous attention to presentation and plating — sushi is as much a visual art as it is a culinary one.
- Strong food safety and hygiene awareness — particularly for raw fish and seafood handling.
- Ability to work efficiently during busy service periods — maintaining speed and quality simultaneously under pressure.
- Must be available to work in Jeddah or Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
🎁 Benefits
- Competitive salary: SAR 3,500 – SAR 7,000/month based on experience and Japanese cuisine expertise
- Work with Baytoti — a growing restaurant brand in two of Saudi Arabia’s most vibrant cities
- Creative environment — opportunity to contribute to menu development and specialty rolls
- Career growth in Saudi Arabia’s rapidly expanding premium dining sector
- Direct hiring — no agency fees or middlemen involved
