Job Description
Maroon is an innovative and culturally rich restaurant inspired by the indomitable spirit of the Jamaican Maroons. This establishment pays homage to resilience, resourcefulness, and determination, mirroring the historical journey of the Maroons and their unique culinary legacy centered on jerk cooking. The origins of jerk cuisine, rooted in survival, adaptation, and ingenuity, are celebrated and reinterpreted here with modern culinary techniques. The restaurant draws its inspiration from Chef Kwame Onwuachi, a James Beard Award-winning American chef renowned for his bold and contemporary expression of Afro-Caribbean and West African-influenced cuisine. Chef Kwame's vision extends beyond serving food; it encompasses creating welcoming spaces that honor identity, empower communities, and connect guests to broader cultural narratives. This unique approach makes Maroon a standout destination for food enthusiasts seeking a meaningful dining experience steeped in rich cultural storytelling.

Responsibilities involve inventory management, ordering supplies through software systems, staff training on beverage knowledge and service, and supervising junior sommeliers. You will be actively involved in wine service, ensuring that standards are upheld during service hours, and managing point-of-sale systems to guarantee smooth transactional experiences. The position demands regular tasting and evaluation of wines and beverages for quality assurance and purchase decisions. Interpersonal skills, teamwork, and effective communication with management, chefs, and staff are crucial to addressing guest needs promptly and maintaining seamless service delivery. This dynamic and fast-paced environment seeks a polished, friendly, and dedicated professional capable of multitasking and thriving under pressure. The role is designed for someone who is enthusiastic about delivering an exceptional VIP guest experience and embraces a sense of urgency in completing tasks. This opportunity is ideal for individuals passionate about fine wine and gourmet service, eager to contribute to an esteemed and culturally significant culinary establishment.
