Genesis House – Front of House Team | Multiple Positions

Genesis House | New York, NY

Genesis House is entering an exciting new chapter in partnership with HAND Hospitality, and we are completing our final round of scheduled interviews for select positions.

This next chapter brings together the distinctive Korean heritage and hospitality of Genesis House, HAND Hospitality’s experience creating celebrated Korean dining concepts in New York City, and a beverage program developed through a collaboration between Genesis House and Bar Cham, one of Seoul’s most internationally recognized cocktail bars.

Together, these elements create a dining experience deeply rooted in Korean culture while delivering thoughtful, polished, and genuinely memorable hospitality.

We are looking for experienced hospitality professionals who are passionate about their craft, team-oriented, and excited about the opportunity to learn, grow, and help shape the next chapter of Genesis House.

An exciting part of the Genesis House experience is our cocktail program, developed through a collaboration with Bar Cham.

Located within a traditional Korean hanok in Seoul’s historic Seochon neighborhood, Bar Cham is led by owner and head bartender Byung-Jin “BJ” Lim, winner of the 2015 Diageo World Class Korea competition.

Bar Cham has built its identity around expressing Korean culture through cocktails, drawing inspiration from different regions of Korea and highlighting Korean spirits, ingredients, flavors, and traditions through modern technique and presentation. Its beverage program incorporates traditional and regional Korean spirits, including soju, makgeolli, and yakju - alongside native and locally inspired ingredients to create cocktails that tell a distinctly Korean story.

Bar Cham has earned significant international recognition as one of Asia’s leading cocktail destinations, ranking:

No. 6 — Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025
No. 33 — Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026

We are building a team that wants to do more than simply execute service. We are looking for individuals interested in understanding the culture, stories, ingredients, and traditions behind what we serve and translating that knowledge into a memorable guest experience.

Whether through our culinary program, Korean tea and coffee service, or our collaboration with Bar Cham, our goal is to create a distinctly Korean hospitality experience delivered with warmth, precision, and genuine care.

If you are passionate about hospitality and want to continue developing your craft alongside an evolving team, we would love to meet you.
