Dishwasher

Umami Riot was born from a simple idea: pair joyful hospitality with uncompromising craftsmanship. Founded by Chef Tim Cushman and sake expert Nancy Cushman, our restaurants celebrate bold flavor, precision, and a deep respect for Japanese foodways – translated through a distinctly Boston lens. At Umami Riot, we’re not here to follow the rules of hospitality, we’re here to rewrite them – with heart, craft and fearless creativity.

We’re looking for a Dishwasher who keeps the kitchen sharp, the flow moving, and the operation clean from the ground up.

THE GIG (AKA WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY BE DOING)

• Backbone-level ownership of the dish pit — when this space is locked in, the entire kitchen runs better
• Clean, organized, and service-ready execution across dishes, pans, tools, floors, stations, and waste areas
• Fast, focused workflow that turns dirty into spotless with consistency, pride, and attention to detail
• Careful organization of clean wares and proactive monitoring of machines and supplies so service never waits
• Calm, composed performance through heat, steam, and speed, jumping in for resets, stocking, and support when needed
• Reliable, proud presence every shift — showing up on time, working hard, and owning nights, weekends, and holidays when strong kitchens show up

THIS ROLE IS A GREAT FIT IF…

• You like staying busy and working with your hands
• You take pride in cleanliness, order, and doing things the right way
• You understand that great kitchens run on teamwork
• You can handle heat, movement, and fast pace without losing focus
• You show up reliable, ready, and willing to help wherever needed
• You bring good energy and a strong work ethic to every shift
