Job Details

Joujou is the highly anticipated new French-inspired dining destination in San Francisco's Design District, created by David Barzelay and Colleen Booth, the team behind the two Michelin Star Lazy Bear and renowned cocktail bar True Laurel.


JouJou (French for “toy” or “plaything”) is an homage to the bustling and beloved restaurants of an era that promised a great time when you went out. It’s where everyone wants to be: glamorous but unpretentious, easy but stylish, full of energy and life, and with a sensual warmth that comes from a shared sense of pleasure in society.


JouJou brings French food to the table through the California lens of Chef David Barzelay. Seafood-focused but not exclusively so, offered through an eclectic, a la carte menu.


JouJou pairs all of this with easygoing hospitality that feels effortless and cool while meeting every need with elegance and poise.

We are seeking polished, service-minded Front of House professionals to join a fine dining restaurant committed to culinary excellence and gracious hospitality. This is an opportunity to work in a thoughtful, detail-oriented environment where food, wine, cocktails, and service are held to the highest standards.  Ideal candidates will have the perfect combination of both fine dining, and higher volume experience.  Minimum 3 years experience is ideal, but not required.

Positions include (but are not limited to):

  • Captains
  • Bartenders & Barbacks
  • Hosts
  • Server Assistants 
  • Food Runners
  • Expeditors
  • Sommelier

What We’re Looking For:

  • A genuine passion for hospitality, food, spirits, and wine
  • Experience in fine dining or upscale, chef-driven restaurants preferred
  • Interest in wine education and the ability to speak confidently about wine pairings (or a desire to learn)
  • Spirits knowledge and strong cocktail understanding
  • Professional demeanor, strong communication skills, and attention to detail
  • Ability to anticipate guest needs and provide intuitive, unobtrusive service
  • Calm, organized, and collaborative under pressure

Responsibilities:

  • Execute service aligned with the restaurant’s culinary philosophy
  • Guide guests through the menu and wine list with knowledge and enthusiasm
  • Maintain precise service standards within a well-organized dining room
  • Work closely with the kitchen and sommelier team to create a seamless guest experience
  • Uphold the culture of respect, professionalism, and continuous improvement

We Offer:

  • Competitive compensation and tip structure

Californian, French, Seafood

Fine Dining

Part of JouJou, Lazy Bear & True Laurel

Inspired equally by great restaurants and louche lounges, JouJou brings French food to the table through the California lens of Chef David Barzelay. Seafood-focused but not exclusively so, our cuisine is centered around cooking great ingredients with every bit of the technique they need, and none that they don’t. No shortcuts, no garnishes, nothing avant garde. Just the food you want to eat again and again, prepared expertly à la carte with some unique and fresh touches. Sometimes it’s a splurge, sometimes it’s not, but it’s never fussy, never difficult.

The dining room spaces allow our guests to choose where they want to play, whether that is the glass-enclosed patio inspired by classic French orangeries and housing the lively main bar, the raw bar seating overlooking the chefs at work, a more intimate and secluded table in the sunken garden dining area, or seeing and being seen in the luxurious semi-circle booths that line the main dining room. JouJou pairs all of this with easygoing hospitality that feels effortless and cool while meeting every need with elegance and poise.

It is a place for a simple glass of Champagne with oysters and frites, or a spectacular night out feasting on pommes dauphine, a plate of chanterelles, an entree of king salmon with sauce Americaine, and bananas foster. It is the place for a timeout and intimate conversation, or a place to celebrate and party. It is a dining room for all of us who need an exciting respite from the reality and mundanity of adulthood. We’re bringing back the excitement of dining out in San Francisco. Come play with us.
