Bartender

Kent Hospitality Group (KHG) is a dynamic and innovative hospitality company founded by visionary Chef Jamal "James" Kent and entrepreneur-led private equity platform SC Holdings. KHG comprises Michelin Star restaurants, private members clubs, and world class venues. We are dedicated to delivering fine dining, unmatched hospitality, and first-rate experiences across North America. We are seeking creative go-getters to join our team to help elevate our brand.

Crown Shy is the first solo project of Chef James Kent. Inspired by James’s upbringing in downtown New York and his experience leading the city’s most celebrated kitchens, Crown Shy is a neighborhood seasonal restaurant elevated by fine dining training and technique.

Located on the ground floor of Art Deco masterpiece 70 Pine Street, the dining room and bar occupy a series of rooms with floor to 16-foot-ceiling windows leading to an open kitchen.

The food at Crown Shy is rooted in European technique but draws inspiration from around the world, primarily the flavors from our childhoods, traveling, and the diverse cuisine in New York City.

Crown Shy has been awarded 1 Michelin star & 2 stars by the NYT and has been acknowledged as one of the most popular new restaurants in the city by multiple publications.

The Bartender’s job is just that; to tend the bar.  You are one of the first interactions with our restaurant that a guest has and, also, often one of the last.  You must be able to create unique and personalized guest experiences for all: from guests who are dining at the bar, to guests who are grabbing a quick drink after work.  Bartenders must possess leadership skills, be personable with guests and be able to anticipate their needs- working with a warm, knowledgeable & noticeably appreciative demeanor. It is the responsibility of the Bartender to coordinate bar activities to achieve the restaurant’s common goal of guest satisfaction. The Bartender must be able to cooperate with Managers and co-workers as this role is integral to the success of the restaurant. Above all, the Bartender must always lead by example.

Crown Shy believes in a ‘whole house’ mentality and we expect all departments (Pastry, Savory, Dining Room, and Facilities) to support and motivate each other to achieve our goal of guest satisfaction. As a Server, you will interact with all of these departments regularly and should be able to communicate effectively and respectfully with your co workers & managers.

This is a full time position. Crown Shy is open 7 days a week. We are closed for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.

Our restaurants offer access to insurance enrollments (must maintain 25 hours per week), no cost life insurance, a short term disability policy, an Employee Assistance Program (with access to free mental health counseling), 40% dining discounts at group restaurants, referral bonuses, and more!
