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
LET’S SET EXPECTATIONS (IN A GOOD WAY)
This is a fast-paced kitchen fueled by movement, heat, music, and momentum, where you’re on your feet, working with knives, fire, and focus throughout each shift.
Yes — this is a hands-on role. You’ll be on your feet for long shifts, lifting up to 50 lbs., bending, reaching, and moving easily through tight spaces. A disciplined commitment to sanitation, safety, and cleanliness is part of the craft here, and we’re committed to providing reasonable accommodations to support individuals in performing the essential functions of the role.
WHY PEOPLE STICK AROUND
Competitive hourly pay - because your work matters
Dining discounts across all Umami Riot locations
Growth that’s real (not just talked about)
A team culture rooted in respect, creativity, and hear
Pay Range: $18 - $22 per hour based on experience
