Job Details

Chef Thomas Keller’s Yountville destination, The French Laundry, is looking for individuals who are enthusiastic about food, beverage and hospitality to join the team as a Maître D'.

Opened in 1994, Chef Keller’s three-starred Michelin restaurant remains one of the most highly regarded fine dining destinations worldwide. The French Laundry’s daily changing tasting menu is centered around seasonal ingredients—many of which are sourced from the neighboring culinary garden—prepared with French techniques.

Our team of hospitality professionals strives to set new standards in service. Qualified candidates will possess a minimum of  3 yearsof experience in a similar chef-driven, fine dining environment. 

The Maître D' will ensure continuous improvement in the quality of guest experience, service, operational effectiveness, employee retention and satisfaction.

Chef Keller’s collection of restaurants is founded on a culture of mentorship and provides a solid foundation of skills to support our profession. We are proud to offer:

  • 401K with no waiting periods and the opportunity to receive up to 4.0% of your salary as matching contributions
  • Company-sponsored medical and dental plans with a contribution of 55%-85% of your premium*
  • Voluntary plans such as vision, life and AD&D insurance, accident, hospitalization, critical illness plans, pet insurance and long-term disability insurance.
  • Opportunities for growth and advancement
  • Daily family meal
  • Scholarship programs
  • Peer mentorship program
  • Employee discounts at Chef Thomas Keller’s casual properties
  • Gym membership discount

Who we are:

With more than 10 properties and 800 employees, the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group (TKRG) has grown from one restaurant to a large family of businesses.

TKRG proudly represents The French Laundry, Per Se, The Surf Club Restaurant, Bouchon Bistro, Bouchon Bakery, Ad Hoc, La Calenda and Regiis Ova Caviar & Champagne Lounge. The properties and people Chef Keller inspires are known for setting new standards in cuisine, service and employment experiences. Our goal is to collaborate with talented restaurant professionals and offer opportunities to learn and grow within the hospitality profession. As we have expanded over time, the expectations that set apart our restaurants have not changed: ensuring that every guest feels special, and every guest experience is exceptional. A guest can walk into The French Laundry or one of the Bouchon Bakeries and have the most enjoyable, unique and memorable experience. A chef will find the same blue aprons and green tape in each of our kitchens—symbols of a common striving for excellence. Outside the kitchens, every action we take must reflect the generosity, nurturing and finesse within. As members of the TKRG family, we have the responsibility to ensure this consistency. Beyond it all is a mission, perhaps summed up best by Chef Keller himself. “To make people happy, one guest at a time,” he says. “That is what cooking is all about.”
