About Evil Onigiri
Evil Onigiri is a Japanese-inspired restaurant concept in Bangalore by Loudrthn Collective, built around bold flavours, a tight, focused menu, and a strong design-led brand experience. We are a small, high-standards team preparing for launch — every early hire will shape how we cook, serve, and grow.
The Role
As Chef de Partie, you will own a section of the Evil Onigiri kitchen end-to-end — prep, execution, plating, and consistency — while working closely with the Head Chef on a compact, Japanese-inspired menu. This is a role with real ownership from day one: you will help set the standards, systems, and pace of a brand-new kitchen rather than inherit someone else's.
Key Responsibilities
- Run your assigned section independently through prep and service, ensuring every dish leaves the pass to spec
- Execute the menu with consistency in taste, portioning, and presentation across every service
- Manage mise en place, stock levels, and ordering for your section; minimise wastage
- Maintain rigorous hygiene, food safety (FSSAI), and kitchen discipline standards at all times
- Train, guide, and supervise Commis chefs working in your section
- Contribute to recipe development, tastings, and menu refinement alongside the Head Chef
What We're Looking For
- 2-4 years of professional kitchen experience in a restaurant, hotel, or cloud kitchen; exposure to Japanese or pan-Asian cuisine is a strong plus
- Solid fundamentals in knife skills, prep systems, and station management
- Calm and organised under service pressure, with high personal standards for consistency
- A degree or diploma in culinary arts / hotel management preferred
- Eagerness to learn Japanese techniques and grow into a senior kitchen role as we scale
What You'll Get
- Early ownership in a new brand — your systems and standards become the house standards
- Direct mentorship from the Head Chef and founding team
- Clear growth path to Sous Chef as the brand expands
- Staff meals, and a tight-knit, design-forward work culture
This is an urgent requirement with a short timeline — shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interviews on priority.
