Maitre D

WORKING on a new project built around modern luxury: polished but playful, high standards without stiffness, and the kind of hospitality that turns first-timers into regulars.

We’re looking for a top Host / Maître d’—someone who loves people, loves the room, and treats every reservation like the start of a relationship.

What you’ll do

• Own the door and the flow: manage reservations, pacing, and seating strategy to protect the vibe.

• Deliver luxury customer service with heart: warmth, kindness, calm authority—guests feel cared for immediately.

• Create regulars: remember names and preferences, leave thoughtful notes, and follow up after visits when appropriate.

• Be the communication hub: coordinate with captains, floor managers, and the kitchen to keep service smooth.

• Use tech confidently: reservation systems, guest profiles, notes, waitlists, messaging—organized and detail-oriented.

• Host like you mean it: you bring “dinner party energy”—anticipation, generosity, and taste.

Who you are

• You have luxury hospitality instincts: polished presence, great language, impeccable judgment.

• You’re kind—not performatively nice, genuinely caring.

• You’re unflappable: you can hold the room when it’s busy without showing stress.

• You’re a people-reader: you can sense what a guest needs (and what they don’t).

• You’re highly organized and love details (names, notes, timing, touches).

• You have a real desire to grow—you want a future in hospitality leadership. You want to stop bouncing around and find a home. 

Experience

• Prior experience as a Host / Maître d’ high-standard restaurant or luxury retailer is strongly preferred.

• NYC experience is a plus, but not required for the right person.
