Tonkotsu began serving ramen in 2012 in Soho. We have a few more restaurants now but our approach to our food and people is the same - we're passionate about providing excellent ramen with our homemade noodles made and served by well paid, well trained and happy people. At Tonkotsu we define ourselves and our culture by four core behavioural values – Keep it Kodawari, Kaizen to the End, Omoiyari All the Way and Praise the Ramen – find out what they mean at the bottom of the page – and we expect you to adhere to these values, keeping them alive.

As a Chef you are the person who manages your kitchen section and contributes to the day-to-day operation of the kitchen alongside the Ramen Chef and Head Ramen Chef.

We expect a lot, but we give a lot too – in return for all the hard work, you’ll be paid well and get some cool benefits.

Responsibilities

• Ensure the food you serve is of a high, consistent quality
• Adhere to all health and safety regulations
• Live and breathe the four Values

Key Behaviours

You will be trained and guided but we also expect you to using your judgement to prioritise tasks and adhere to our standards. You will take responsibility for your actions, even when you’ve made a mistake. You will have an infectious determination to make sure your customers are served the best food possible.

Omoiyari all the way – We are compassionate and inclusive

You will be friendly, approachable and use empathy to perceive the feelings of your team and customers. You will not discriminate against anyone on any grounds. You will have a genuine passion for hospitality that will ensure our customers feel welcome and looked after.

Kaizen to the end – we constantly strive for improvement

Nobody is perfect! We are all on a journey of improvement – personal and professional. You will be curious to learn and eager to develop.
