Job Details

Sailor is a lauded neighborhood bistro on a corner in Fort Greene helmed by Chef April Bloomfield and Gabriel Stulman’s Happy Cooking Hospitality.

We enjoy working with humans who are warm, welcoming and empathetic, detail-oriented, open to feedback, and enthusiastic about being part of a team that prioritizes quality service and mindful hospitality.

Captains at Sailor are the main point of contact with our guests and leaders on the floor. Their goal is to tailor exceptional dining experiences for every table vis-a-vis attentive listening, expert guidance, and thoughtful execution.

Wine is part of the daily conversation at Sailor. We offer ongoing wine education, and we’d be well matched with people who have a passion for it. We’re looking for dining room professionals with experience in fine dining who'd enjoy working in a more intimate setting with a dedicated team.

If you’ve dined at Joseph Leonard, Jeffrey’s Grocery, or Fairfax, then you’ve been in our house. To learn more about us, we encourage you to visit www.happycookingnyc.com.

Happy Cooking Hospitality supports a culture of inclusivity. We make restaurants that feel like home – and in our home, all are welcome. HCH provides equal employment opportunities to all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, amnesty, or status as a covered veteran in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws.

Greetings are essential to great hospitality. When applying, please take the time to introduce yourself!
