TELL ME MORE
Life doesn’t become more social than through sharing food. That’s our founding food philosophy. The food that comes out of our Living Kitchen is fresh, simple, honest, healthy and local. 

As our Breakfast Chef, you’ll be the maestro of the morning, crafting breakfasts that are as beautiful as they are delicious. From breakfast, brunch, to lunch, you’ll be plating up dishes that are not just tasty but also visually stunning. Plus, you'll get to flex your creativity with daily-changing lunch offerings using the freshest ingredients. At Zoku, mornings are more than just a time of day – they’re a vibe. So, if you can crack eggs with a smile, whip up gravity-defying pancake stacks, and create avocado toasts worthy of a double-tap, we want you!

Level Up: We’re all about leveling up. With seasoned mentors and plenty of opportunities to refine your craft, you’ll go from great to gourmet in no time.
