Description

Head Bartender

Reports to: General Manager, National Beverage Directors

Maple Hospitality Group is the national hospitality group driven by Jim Lasky, Chef Danny Grant, and a team of world-class food lovers who serve to live and live to serve. Successful restaurants exist for many years by delivering all of the following: impeccable food, World-class service, and a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Our team’s goal is to achieve iconic destinations and programs by delivering on all three. Our restaurants and our teams deliver an experience beyond what is expected—that is the Maple Hospitality promise.  As the Company expands throughout Chicago, Scottsdale, Dallas and Miami, opportunities for growth, travel and continuing education are endless.

Maple & Ash is an innovative take on the traditional steakhouse — mixing modern aesthetic with authentic service to deliver classic wood-fired dishes. With a menu crafted by two Michelin star Chef Danny Grant and a 5,000 bottle wine program named one of “America’s Best” by Wine Spectator, Maple & Ash finds a way to celebrate every moment. It’s more than just a restaurant, it’s an experience.

In everything we do, there are four principles that we live by:

• Generous - We always give more than we receive, and we never take advantage of a guest. The value that a guest receives always exceeds what they pay.
   
• Excellence - We do our work exceptionally, with skill and talent curated from decades of hospitality experience. Our staff has more food, wine, and cocktail knowledge than any other Hospitality Group.
   
• Fun - We love what we do, we laugh a lot, and we never take ourselves too seriously. Having fun is a critical component to success at an intense and complex restaurant.
   
• Fail Fast - As we strive to be the best, we will make mistakes. It is ok to screw up as long as you learn, adjust, and get better. Don’t wait… fail fast and move on.
