Foh Manager

Modern Love is a vegan comfort food restaurant in Williamsburg based on the recipes of chef and cookbook author Isa Chandra Moskowitz. We are looking for a FOH manager that is great with people, understands small business and has a passion for vegan food.

Before the job description stuff, a little history. We have been in business for 7+ years. Before the pandemic we were completely dine-in with a little delivery here and there. During the pandemic we developed a strong delivery audience and it's kind of stayed that way, with a large percentage of sales being to-go. So we definitely have busy nights. But we need someone with plenty of experience dealing with the delivery side of things as well.

So long story short, we are a small restaurant with a solid staff, still navigating this changed restaurant world. We are looking for someone who gets that and is along for the ride.
