356 Best meal prep Jobs in New York, NY (April 2025)

Hello! SOPO is a new Korean fast-casual restaurant based in NYC. Our mission is to deliver a guaranteed form of happiness in the form of Korean food to nourish the body and soul. We are a group of Korean friends and long-time New Yorkers, and we believe that Korean food is one of the best parts of our culture, which is why we’re launching our first store in NYC. Our team culture is built on 4 core values (S.O.P.O.): - Service : Our service is second to none – high quality, consistency, customer centric thinking are second nature. Also, service in Korean embodies the concept of ‘giving more than what is warranted’. We embody this concept of delivering more to our customers, to each other, and to ourselves through our work. - Openness : Sopo is all about bringing excellency from one culture to another. Cross pollination of outstanding ideas is encouraged at Sopo through a culture of open discussion, open minds, and most importantly open hearts. Ideas are selected on their merit, not by who came up with them. - People : The Korean word for a company is 회사 (‘hwe-sa’) which roughly translates to a place where people gather. A company starts with people, is run by people, and serves people – the respect with which we treat people both inside and outside of our organization should be as obvious as this statement itself. - Operational Excellence : Excellence is the standard at Sopo. Good enough simply is not good enough.
