Candidates must be available to work weekends for on-call / casual shifts with the potential to work on other days of the week.
Naʻau is a project created by Chef Brian Hirata, based on the Hawaiian definition "guts; of the heart and mind." Hirata, a 2023 and 2022 James Beard Foundation Award Semifinalist, who was named one of the 10 change-makers in America in Departures magazine in October 2020, is dedicating his life to preserving Hawaiʻi's food culture while progressing the local cuisine through thoughtful presentations.

As we are a small team, all team members, no matter the position, assist with serving when needed, as well as cleaning, packing, setting up, washing dishes, and other duties as assigned.
