Ideal candidates will have experience in a diverse array of front of house roles, including bussing, running, and serving. The Server is a captain position at Manny's Bistro, and is responsible for overseeing the activities of support staff. Knowledge of classic French cuisine and wine will be essential for a competitive application, and experience with Lightspeed PoS systems is a major plus. Successful candidates will be eager to learn and able to follow direction closely in a fast-paced environment.

The Server is the principal liaison between the restaurant and the client, and their primary occupation is ensuring the positive experience of guests. Ideal candidates will be personable, type-A individuals who are enthusiastic about the prospect of richly describing special food and wine offerings; offering banter and insight about cuisine, the arts, and popular culture; and indulging in all the excesses and flourishes of classic hospitality.

A chipper and vigorous demeanor is thus essential, as is traditional politesse and a control of courteous and indirect speech. For this reason, advanced English proficiency is mandatory, while proficiencies in additional languages sufficient to offer this style of service will be viewed as major assets.

Who we are:

Manny's is an Upscale Casual venture situated in the Lincoln Center neighborhood of Manhattan's Upper West Side. Opened in 2020 after the manager of the location's previous incarnation, Bistro Cassis, took the restaurant over, new owner Manuel Colon has since worked tirelessly to 'take the restaurant to a new level.' The project is now embarking on a transition to a more elevated take on the classic French Bistro concept, and the charismatic and knowledgeable Server will be a keystone of this endeavor.
