The Sous Chef will support the Grand Cafe kitchen operation at Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel, coordinating food preparation, service, quality control, sanitation, ordering, and daily staff activities. Requirements typically include professional culinary training, several years of hotel or high-volume restaurant experience, strong knowledge of Japanese and international cuisine, food-safety standards, and the ability to lead a multicultural kitchen team. Japanese-language ability is particularly important for communication with local colleagues and guests. The successful candidate is expected to maintain Marriott service standards, work efficiently under pressure, control costs, train junior chefs, and provide consistent, attractive dishes across busy meal periods. Flexibility for shifts, weekends, and holidays is essential.
Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel is a large international resort hotel in Urayasu, Chiba, located beside Tokyo Disney Resort and within convenient reach of central Tokyo. It operates under the Sheraton brand, part of Marriott International, one of the world’s largest hospitality companies. The hotel serves leisure travelers, families, tour groups, business visitors, and convention guests, with extensive dining, banquet, accommodation, and recreational facilities. Its Grand Cafe is a major all-day dining venue requiring organized, high-volume kitchen production and consistent international service standards. Working for the property can provide exposure to a multicultural hospitality environment, structured Marriott training, and opportunities to develop within a global hotel network. Exact employment benefits, accommodation arrangements, allowances, and working conditions depend on the official offer and local employment contract.
Japan offers strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, resorts, tourism, and food service, especially around Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Okinawa, and major theme-park destinations. Hospitality work is disciplined and service-focused, with punctuality, teamwork, cleanliness, and respect for hierarchy highly valued. Tokyo provides excellent transport, dining, and career prospects, but housing and daily expenses can be high. Seasonal weather ranges from cold winters to hot, humid summers. Foreign chefs should expect a structured workplace and benefit greatly from Japanese language ability, even when English is used. A suitable work status, commonly an Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services visa or another employer-supported category, is required before starting work. The employer normally provides sponsorship documentation, while the candidate handles embassy procedures and residence registration. Arrange housing, health insurance, tax registration, banking, and a Japanese phone plan after arrival. Confirm visa eligibility, salary, overtime, meals, transport, and relocation support directly with the hotel.
