Job Details

WE ARE HIRING FOR THE MANHATTAN LOCATIONS. PLEASE CHECK YOUR INVITATION FOR INTERVIEW LOCATION

MáLà Project isn't for everyone. We're not your average Chinese restaurant, and we're not looking for average people. We need a Front of House team that can handle the pace, the energy, and high standards. This is a position for those who know that hospitality isn't about scripted smiles—it's about creating a real, seamless, and memorable experience. You're not just taking orders; you're running the show.


Your Role: Own the Room

  • Command the dining room—manage the chaos with cool, professional grace.
  • Be the expert—know our menu inside and out, and guide guests with confident, genuine recommendations.
  • Execute flawless service—from the first touchpoint to the last, you ensure it's sharp, accurate, and on-brand.
  • Keep your stations tight—an organized space is a powerful space.
  • Collaborate with your team like a pro—communication is everything.


This is For You If:

  • You have Serving, Hosting, Bartending experience in New York.
  • Your communication is direct, not dramatic.
  • You're a problem-solver, not a problem-pointer. You see what needs to be done and you do it.
  • You have an eye for the details that most people miss.
  • You're a team player who knows that a rising tide lifts all boats.
  • You're genuinely motivated by our vision and want to build something with us.

Nice-to-Have (Stand out from the crowd):

  • Food Handlers Certificate

Part of MáLà Project

MáLà Project is a restaurant brand founded with a mission to deliver joy through neo-Sichuanese cuisine. From fiery MáLà Dry Pots to comforting Northern Chinese classics, it’s a cozy place to gather round with friends and family.

The Dry Pot is at the center of any MáLà Project order. Choose from endless combinations of meat, seafood, vegetables, and other unique ingredients to be wok fried with Chef Zhao’s secret MáLà Sauce. Made from a complex blend of 24 herbs and spices–each with a specific medicinal purpose–cooked over six hours, to create a mouth-watering flavor that keeps you craving for more. The menu boasts a selection of quintessential Dim Sum, Noodles, and Speciality Rices to complement the Dry Pot. The drinks menu offers Chinese favorites like Plum Juice and Tsingtao alongside other beer selections, wine, and an inspired cocktail list.
