What are the responsibilities and job description for the Maitre D' position at Porchlight?

Porchlight is a New York bar with a Southern accent. But what does that mean? Well, we have married the hospitality, soul, drink, and food of the ever-evolving South with the hustle and innovation of the big city we call home. We were born in New York of Southern roots, and we love to reminisce about our home cities of Charleston, New Orleans, or Memphis…but we wouldn’t trade them for New York. Even when the L train isn’t running.

  • Demonstrate an understanding of reservations booking strategies and a working knowledge of all functions of Resy.
  • Coordinate with management to “build the book” and boost cover counts while taking into consideration both the needs of the business and the needs of our guests.

What we need from you:

  • 2 years in a guest-facing restaurant role
  • A passion for guest experience and hospitality
  • English fluency and additional languages preferred, but not required
