Job Summary

Marcel is the newest cultural destination from Roman and Williams in partnership with Sotheby’s, located within the storied Breuer building on Madison Avenue. More than a restaurant, Marcel brings together multiple outlets. A place where design, art, cuisine, and hospitality converge, Marcel represents the highest expression of RW Guild’s ethos: craftsmanship, beauty, cultural depth, and human connection. Each space offers a distinct point of view, yet collectively they create a seamless, immersive guest journey.

•    Train, coach, and mentor all FOH staff to uphold luxury service standards and embody Marcel’s refined hospitality ethos.
•    Foster an inclusive, warm, and professional culture built on respect, continuous learning, and genuine hospitality.
•    Partner closely with the General Manager, Executive Chef, and leadership team to align service with culinary and cultural programming. 
•    Cultivate meaningful relationships with guests, ensuring each interaction is personal, intuitive, and polished.
•    Anticipate needs, resolve concerns with discretion, and foster an environment of grace and attentiveness.
•    Lead the execution of private dining, semi private experiences, and special activations, ensuring aligned service and flawless delivery. 
•    Uphold all safety, sanitation, and ServSafe protocols across FOH operations. 
•    Ensure all service standards, steps of service, and guest engagement protocols are executed consistently and thoughtfully.

•    3–5 years of progressive leadership experience in fine dining, luxury hospitality, or multi outlet operations. 
•    A leadership style that inspires confidence, professionalism, and teamwork across diverse teams.
•    Strong mastery of luxury service standards, wine knowledge, and food and beverage pairing etiquette.
•    Proven ability to excel in a high volume environment without compromising refinement, detail, or guest connection.
