Job description

Fish Cheeks is a vibrant restaurant serving contemporary Thai food with a focus on seafood. Originally located in NoHo, our newest location will be opening soon in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Named for the lean, tender cheek meat that is considered the tastiest part of a fish and a delicacy in Asia, the critically-acclaimed and widely-beloved restaurant offers a menu of unabashedly intense, fresh and vivid dishes that span the diverse regions of Thailand.

Fish Cheeks is a deeply personal concept for Jenn Saesue and Chat Suansilphong that celebrates the cultural heritage and the culinary artistry found in Bangkok and beyond. Brought together by their shared desire to bring traditional Thai cuisine to NYC, the team decided to open Fish Cheeks, offering a menu that highlights the unfiltered flavors they craved from their upbringing in Thailand and re-creates the type of convivial and communal-style dining found across the country - from the street-stalls to fine-dining restaurants.

Qualifications:

• 2+ years high-volume host experience
• Resy experienced required
• Good employment record that shows commitment
• Passion and knowledge for maximizing covers while adequately managing guest expectations
• Ability to communicate efficiently and with grace under pressure

Responsibilities Include:

• Maintaining reservation book according to restaurant policy and standards on a daily basis, alerting mngt and events coordinator as needed
• Providing friendly and attentive service
• Ability to respond to environment with urgency and grace
• Thorough understanding of sidework and all tasks associated with host role
• Professional presentation and positive attitude at all times
• Basic knowledge of menu to accurately answer guest questions
• Willingness to help out wherever service requires
• Assisting in tasks to ensure a stocked, sanitized and safe restaurant
