The Nash Restaurant & Offcut Bar is looking for an experienced, hospitality-driven Maître d' to lead the guest experience on our floor. This is a full-time, hourly position with a healthy share of gratuities, offering a great work-life balance. Shifts typically run 4 to 8 hours depending on volume, over roughly 4 days a week rather than the standard 5.

It's a great fit for someone who's ready to step back from the physical grind of serving while still earning well, or someone looking to grow into a leadership role in a top independently owned and operated restaurant.
