Added to this succulent, rich, and flavorful broth are Hakata style wheat noodles, beautifully braised chashu pork belly, and a superb selection of toppings all sourced from Japan. Our bold bowls are much beloved by our regular diners and newcomers alike.
We are looking for fun and hard-working people to ensure that our guests receive a great experience.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
A Front-of-House Working Day At Kanada-Ya:
The day begins at around 10am, the restaurant is set up, the bar is stocked, and deliveries are checked and counted. At 11.30am, the team briefing takes place; important announcements for the day are made, service is discussed, and our delicious menu is taste-tested to ensure perfection. With a plan in mind and wonderful, warm food in our bellies, we are all ready to go!
We offer a fast-paced lunch service with a lot of regular customers. Guests are seated, orders are taken, tasty bowls of ramen are delivered to delighted tables. When break time rolls around, team members can enjoy a meal specially prepared by the kitchen, or they can order something off the menu if they like, free of charge. Rested and ready for dinner service, we know that our evening will be busy but filled with music, laughter, fun, and, of course, excellent food! Our unique ambience is enjoyed by staff and customers alike. Another perfect day in the wonderful world of hospitality.
