So, we hope you're up for bringing your spark and big smile to the newest addition to the Sticks 'n' Sushi team.

Are you

- Adaptable and able to stay calm and move with change without letting standards drop?
- An intuitive and caring relationship builder, taking pride in being nice and working hard?
- A natural leader and listener, who supports with a big smile and a small ego?
