Job Details
We are a high-volume, fast-paced restaurant located in the heart of Times Square, and we’re looking for a strong Host to join our team. This role requires someone who can multitask extremely well, think quickly on their feet, and essentially play Tetris with our floor plan to maximize seating, turns, and overall efficiency.
We operate with three active modes of seating at all times—reservations, walk-ins/waitlist, and hotel guests—so organization and adaptability are key. We need someone who is ready to take charge, keep the host team aligned, and help us get butts in seats while maintaining a smooth and professional guest experience.
What We’re Looking For:
-
Full time availability, this role will be a combination of AM and PM shifts
-
Ability to multitask under pressure in a very busy environment
-
Strong spatial awareness and strategic thinking to fully utilize our dining room layout
-
Confident, assertive communicator who can lead and organize the host team
-
Willingness to pick up occasional mid-shifts, which typically start at 9:00 AM and end around 7:00 PM.
-
A proactive attitude and readiness to move, adapt, and be challenged.
If you thrive in high energy, love solving puzzles, and enjoy being the front line of a dynamic Times Square restaurant, we’d love to meet you.

Part of Friedmans Restaurant Group
A little about us & the culture that has been created…
Friedmans is a family run business, which operates locations throughout New York City. Friedmans was named after the famous economist Milton Friedman who popularized the phrase, “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”. This phrase has gone on to be used in science, economics, finance, statistics, technology, sports, & now food. However, to put it simply, “to get one thing we like, we usually have to give up another thing we like.”
The original store opened in 2009 in the Chelsea Market. One of the pioneers Vanessa had been diagnosed with celiac disease and had to eat gluten-free. So when the first location opened she was vocal about making it a gluten-free safe haven for her and her celiac peers. She was adamant that there be only one menu available which would be entirely gluten-free. After long hours in the kitchen and playing with all different sorts of flours we believe we have created some of the best pancakes, waffles, and fried chicken. More importantly, they are all intrinsically gluten-free.
Our mantra is simple, “Eat good food” and this is what we strive to deliver to our guests. For us, it has two meanings. Firstly, eat food that tastes good. Secondly, be proud of the food you serve. We know where our food comes from. We communicate regularly with our farmers and are proud to serve antibiotic free meats & local vegetables. Our mission is for you to love, respect, & enjoy, not only the food you serve, but also the team you work with.
