About Us
Meimei’s is a contemporary Chinese bistro opening in the Lower East Side this December. We want to cook great food, build a strong team, and have fun while we work hard together.

- Work an assigned section, greeting, serving, and taking care of guests to our standards and values
- Understand and execute our style of hospitality - warm, enthusiastic, observant
- Complete daily opening and closing sideworks
- Calm and focus during service
- Clear communication and strong interpersonal skills with both your managers and fellow team members, as well as with guests
- A team-first mentality– supporting each other, helping across sections, and continuing to grow yourself
- Wine knowledge is preferred, along with an interest in and willingness to learn about cocktails, Chinese spirits, and Chinese tea culture.
What You Bring
- 1+ years as a server in a full-service restaurant
- Organization and attention to details
- A strong sense of urgency

- Ability to stand and walk for long shifts and lift up to 50 lbs
How We Work
- Same respect for everyone. Fellow servers, dishwashers, or cooks are treated with the same respect. While there will be intense moments, we strive to keep a calm head and keep these moments professional, not personal.
- Hospitality is the standard. We strive to give our guests an experience that grounds them in the moment and leaves them feeling like they’ve been taken care of.
- Mistakes lead to growth. Honest mistakes get coaching, not punishment. The only real mistake is covering one up.
- Speak up. If something’s wrong, tell the manager or owner. You’ll never get in trouble for raising a concern in good faith.
What We Offer
- 5 days PTO (Paid Time Off) a year after 1 year of employment with the company
- Health insurance
- Daily family meal
- Dining discounts
- Mentorship and cross-training across positions, with a clear path to advancement within the hospitality group.
