•Hospitality: A warm, engaging personality with a commitment to providing exceptional guest service and fostering a communal dining atmosphere.
•Knowledge: Strong understanding of classic and contemporary cocktail techniques, wine service, and responsible alcohol service practices. Willingness to learn about our distinctive beverage program.
•Team Player: Ability to thrive in an eclectic, hard-working, and collaborative team environment.
•Adaptability: Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic setting where attention to detail and efficiency are paramount.

Responsibilities:
•Prepare and serve a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages with precision and consistency.
•Engage with guests, offering recommendations and sharing knowledge about our unique beverage and food offerings.
•Maintain a clean, organized, and well-stocked bar area.
•Process payments accurately and efficiently.
•Collaborate with the kitchen and front-of-house team to ensure seamless service.
•Adhere to all health, safety, and sanitation guidelines.

Why Join Maydan?

•Work in a supportive and passionate team environment.
•Opportunity to expand your knowledge of diverse spirits, wines, and culinary traditions.
•Competitive compensation (hourly + tips) and benefits package.

When you enter our town square—our “Maydān”—we want you to feel a sense of wonder. We want you to forget what you know and we’ll be there with you for every bite. You’ll feel like you’ve met new friends—a new family—who will guide you through the square to a table full of dishes. Spreads, salads, condiments, roasted and grilled vegetables, meats, and seafood coming together in unison. Just remember, there is no wrong way to go about this.

The centerpiece of every table is the bread, which we make to order in Maydān’s clay ovens; it is a culmination of everything we love about the regions we focus on. Bread brings the meal together and bread brings people together. We want you to use your hands, making the bread your utensil. Share with your neighbor, break bread with your family and friends.

See you in our Maydān soon, we'll be waiting for you!
