PINGS Stevenage is a small independent sushi and bubble tea shop located in Stevenage New Town. As our second location, we have proudly served the local community for several years and continue to grow. As business gets busier, we're looking for a motivated and enthusiastic team member to join our close-knit team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people, likes learning new skills, and wants to be part of a friendly and supportive workplace. No previous sushi-making experience is required — full training will be provided.
One of the things our team values most is that we close at 4pm. Unlike many hospitality jobs, there are no late-night finishes, giving you more time for family, friends, hobbies, or whatever matters to you outside of work.
About Us
At PINGS, we're not a large chain or corporate business. We're a small team that works closely together every day, and we genuinely enjoy what we do. We work hard, support each other, have a laugh together, and take pride in serving great food and drinks to our customers.
We're looking for someone who will fit into that culture: someone with a positive attitude, good energy, and a willingness to get stuck in when things get busy.

- Quick learner with good attention to detail
