About this role

A product development role for Kakiyasu Dining, a nationwide chain of take-away deli counters, plus the company's grill restaurants and food-court rice-bowl outlets. The work is done in the test kitchen at the Tokyo head office in Gotanda.

The developer researches competitors' menus and creates several new items each season, working through a monthly cycle of roughly 20 ideas, 10 proposals and 4 commercialised products. Because the food is taken home, recipes are designed to stay tasty and safe over time. The role also checks the taste and cost balance of new ingredients, validates recipes for cooking time, quantities, yield and process, writes detailed menu instructions so store chefs across the country produce consistent results, delivers web training to those chefs, and cooks dishes for website and social media photography.

Cooking experience in any cuisine together with product or recipe development experience is required.
