About Us
HED NYC is an intimate fine-dining Thai restaurant in Chelsea, part of EWC Hospitality Group. Our bar is calm and refined, not a high-volume bar. We’re looking for a bartender who takes pride in the details: precise technique, beautiful presentation and warm, knowledgeable conversation with every guest.
What You’ll Do
- Prepare classic and signature cocktails, wine, sake and non-alcoholic drinks to exact recipe and presentation standards
- Make every drink look perfect: clean glassware, measured pours, fresh garnishes and consistent plating
- Get to know our menu well enough to recommend drinks and food pairings to guests
- Welcome and look after bar guests with polished, personal fine-dining service
- Run the service bar for the dining room quickly and accurately
- Prepare the bar before service: juices, syrups, infusions, garnishes, ice and glassware
- Keep the bar spotless and organized at all times, following health and safety standards
- Help with inventory, par levels, ordering and tracking waste
- Use slower periods well: deep cleaning, prep, menu study and helping the dining room team
- Work closely with the servers, kitchen and management as one team
What We’re Looking For
- 2+ years of bartending experience, ideally in fine dining or upscale restaurants
- Strong knowledge of classic cocktails, spirits and wine (sake and Asian spirits are a plus)
- Very detail-oriented: you notice the small things and follow standards every time
- Calm, professional and friendly, comfortable talking with guests at the bar
- Organized and reliable, with a strong sense of ownership of the bar
- Able to work evenings, weekends and holidays
- Must be 21 or older
- NY ATAP (alcohol server training) certification required or obtained within 30 days of hire
- NYC Food Protection or Food Handler certificate is a plus
- Toast POS experience is a plus
Compensation and Benefits
- $24.00 per hour plus tips (estimated $500+ per week)
- Staff meal during shifts
- Dining discount at EWC Hospitality Group restaurants
- Room to grow with a growing restaurant group in NYC and San Francisco
If you love making drinks with care and creating memorable moments for guests, we’d love to meet you.

Part of East West Cuisine Hospitality Group
Located at 461 W 23rd Street in the heart of Chelsea, Manhattan, HED NYC will introduce a new era of Thai fine dining to New York City as one of the first restaurants in Manhattan dedicated exclusively to a seasonal tasting menu experience. Positioned in one of the city’s most vibrant and culturally rich neighborhoods, HED NYC will offer an intimate and elevated destination for discerning diners seeking a refined culinary journey.
Designed as a modern luxury dining experience, HED NYC will present a carefully curated multi-course tasting menu that evolves seasonally throughout the year. Each menu will highlight premium ingredients at their peak while showcasing Thai flavors through a contemporary and elegant perspective. The concept blends traditional Thai culinary heritage with modern technique, precision, and artistic presentation.
At the heart of HED NYC is Chef Saint, whose culinary vision and international experience define the restaurant’s identity. Chef Saint brings world-class expertise from Sawaan, the acclaimed one Michelin-star Thai restaurant in Bangkok, where he refined his skills in precision, technique, and luxury hospitality. He is also the executive chef behind HED11 in San Francisco, which earned recognition in the Michelin Guide in both 2024 and 2025—an exceptional accomplishment achieved just three months after opening. His ability to merge authentic Thai roots with innovative fine dining execution positions HED NYC as a serious contender in Manhattan’s competitive luxury dining scene.
HED NYC will be more than a restaurant—it will be a fully immersive tasting experience. Each course will tell a story rooted in Thai culture, seasonal inspiration, and culinary craftsmanship. Guests can expect bold yet balanced flavors, refined plating, and a thoughtful progression of dishes that reflect Thailand’s diverse regional influences while embracing modern creativity. From rare herbs and spices to premium seafood and carefully sourced meats, every element will be intentional, elevated, and memorable.
