About Us:
Sesamo is a boundary-pushing Italian-Asian fusion restaurant with Michelin-level ambitions. Our menu is creative, refined, and built on precision, balance, and bold flavor.

We’re looking for a skilled and reliable Garde Manger Cook to take ownership of the cold station and help us deliver on our promise of excellence.
About the Role:
The Garde Manger (Garmo) Cook is responsible for executing all cold dishes on the menu — from raw seafood, pickled vegetables, and dressed salads to intricate garnishes and composed plates. You’ll be part of a professional, fast-paced team where technique and detail are taken seriously.
Key Responsibilities:
Cold Dish Execution: Prepare all cold appetizers, salads, crudos, garnishes, and dressings with precision, speed, and attention to detail.
Plating & Presentation: Maintain consistency and visual excellence on every plate, following Sesamo’s standards for clean, elegant presentation.
Station Readiness: Set up and break down your station daily, keeping it clean, organized, and fully stocked for service.
Batch Prep: Execute prep for your station — including pickling, blending dressings, portioning proteins, and prepping mise en place — according to kitchen recipes and daily prep sheets.
Cross-Training: Support other stations (especially pasta or hot line) if needed during service or prep time.
Quality Control: Ensure all ingredients are fresh, rotated properly, and up to our strict quality standards.
Service Collaboration: Communicate with the expo and line cooks during service to ensure smooth, timely dish execution.
Who You Are:

Pickling, fermenting, or basic preservation techniques
Knife skills and precise vegetable work
