Who we are:
Junior is a new restaurant from the team behind award-winning Rolf and Daughters + Folk. A space where classic fine dining meets playful creativity, our kitchen draws inspiration from Basque grilling and French technique, always led by the seasons and the best our local farmers and fishmongers have to offer.
We’re looking for a Maître D’ who is passionate about our industry and energized by the opportunity to build something special from day one.
Why Junior?
You’ll be joining the opening team of an intimate, design-forward restaurant—around 50 seats, warm and elegant, with deep red leather banquettes, lacquered wood, hi-fi sound, and soft lighting. Our menu reflects restraint and imagination. Our wine and cocktail program favors minimal-intervention producers and classic profiles with unexpected twists.
As Maître D’, you will be the first point of contact for our guests, setting the tone for an elevated but approachable dining experience. You’ll be responsible for managing the flow of service, coordinating reservations and seating, and supporting the front-of-house team in delivering thoughtful hospitality from the moment guests walk in.
We’re Looking For:
Someone who is gracious under pressure, detail-oriented, and passionate about hospitality. Experience in fine dining or a high-end, high-volume environment is strongly preferred. Experience with OpenTable or Resy is required.
Responsibilities include:
- Warmly welcoming and engaging guests upon arrival
- Managing reservations and guest flow with efficiency and precision
- Supporting hosts and floor staff to ensure a smooth service
- Handling guest requests and concerns with professionalism and care
- Acting as a liaison between the dining room and management team
Junior is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and respectful team where all identities are welcomed and valued.
If you're excited by thoughtful food, creative expression, the chance to shape a restaurant from its beginning, and the opportunity to help launch a new Nashville destination for modern American cuisine, we can't wait to meet you!
