Created by a French family living in Tokyo, Maison Dodu will serve generous, homemade French food centred around one emblematic dish: roast chicken. Conceived as a true neighbourhood restaurant, it will be warm and lively, French in spirit and deeply rooted in Tokyo.
We are looking for someone who wants to take part in this opening and help us shape the way Maison Dodu welcomes its guests.
THE ROLE
As an experienced server and the main point of reference in the dining room, the Floor Leader will take an active part in service and ensure that it runs smoothly.
Working as part of a small team, you will collaborate closely with the Chef and management. The position requires autonomy, flexibility and a genuine team spirit.
Main responsibilities :
- Manage dining room set-up, guest reception, service and closing.
- Organise service and assign tasks to part-time staff.
- Support the team and ensure that service runs smoothly.
- Manage reservations and prepare the table plan.
- Coordinate communication between the dining room and kitchen.
- Operate the cash register and POS system.
- Act as a Japanese-speaking point of contact for guests, suppliers and delivery staff.
- Work with the owners on the day-to-day follow-up of suppliers, deliveries and the team.
- Ensure the cleanliness and proper maintenance of the dining room and equipment.
- Maintain Maison Dodu’s standards of hospitality and service.
PROFILE
- Solid front-of-house experience.
- Previous experience coordinating a team is appreciated.
- Ability to organise service and supervise a small team.
- Japanese and English are essential.
- French is appreciated but not required.
- Comfortable serving both Japanese and international guests.
- Welcoming, autonomous, reliable and organised.
- Able to take initiative, adapt and support the team where needed.
- Warm attitude, neat appearance and a genuine team spirit.
- Available to work evenings and weekends.
We are looking for an attentive, welcoming and energetic person who can provide professional service while preserving the warmth and spontaneity of a true neighbourhood restaurant.
WHY JOIN MAISON DODU?
Because the story is only just beginning.
By joining Maison Dodu from the start, you will help write the first chapters of a new French restaurant in Tokyo. You will play an important role within a small team and gradually have the opportunity to gain greater autonomy and take on more responsibility.
More than an experienced server, we are looking for the person who will give our service its rhythm, energy and personality.
