What are the responsibilities and job description for the Maitre d' position at Elephante LA?
Elephante Beach House(www.elephantela.com) is a Coastal Italian restaurant located on the rooftop in Santa Monica overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
We opened in summer 2018 to critical and public acclaim.
Our existing Maitre d' staff are wonderful. We need to add 1more member to that team.
The Maitre d' (MD) position at Elephante is challenging yet rewarding. We are busy during all 14 shifts each week. We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week. The MD works at our ground floor host stand receiving guests, plotting the floor, assigning tables to walk-ins and communicating with management about the seating and flow of service.
To be a successful Maitre d's, you must be flexible, social, charming and confident! You must be calm under pressure, tolerant and resourceful with guests with special needs and have the ability to create solutions on the fly. We enjoy working with MD's who take calculated risks and who create special experiences for guests.
We only work well with personalities who create solutions to challenges and who see the glass half full!
We are happy to work with part time or full time candidates, however, you must have weekend availability in order to be considered for the position. We have shifts available in both the daytime and evenings.
We use Resy for reservations and table management. Experience with Resy or Opentable is required for this position.
In terms of recruiting, we do first interview on FaceTime or Zoom. Second interviews are held on property here at the restaurant.
We look forward to you applying and potentially meeting you!
