Opportunity for Growth About the Role

Lundy’s is looking for a charismatic, experienced Maître d’ / Lead Host to become the face of our dining room and help us build something special in Red Hook.

We are looking for someone with a big personality, a genuine love of New York City culture, and a natural ability to make people feel like they belong.

• Handle guest concerns with professionalism, confidence, and genuine hospitality.

• Assist with end-of-night closing duties, guest follow-up, and additional operational responsibilities as needed.

• Take ownership of the front door and contribute to the overall success and growth of the restaurant.

• Previous experience as a Maître d’, Lead Host, or in a comparable senior front-of-house position is required.

• Proficiency with Resy is required.

• A big personality, strong interpersonal skills, and a natural ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

• A genuine understanding and appreciation of New York City dining, nightlife, and culture.

• Someone who loves entertaining guests, remembers the details, and takes pride in building a loyal following.

• Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.

• Confidence managing a busy dining room while remaining warm, personable, and composed.

• A hands-on, team-oriented attitude and willingness to take on responsibilities beyond traditional hosting duties.

• Availability to work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Lundy’s is part of a growing Brooklyn hospitality group with multiple food and beverage concepts and exciting opportunities ahead.

This is a chance to play a meaningful role in shaping the personality and guest experience of a restaurant with a storied New York name. We are looking for someone who wants to become part of the fabric of the neighborhood, build a following, and grow with us.

For the right person, there is real opportunity to take on additional responsibilities and advance within our hospitality group. How to Apply
