Skills
Job Description
Mamahuhu is built around the idea that food brings people, communities, and cultures together. Chinese-American food is a perfect example — a cuisine that began in China, evolved in America, and continues to bring people together in joyful, shared moments. We’re here to celebrate that tradition by creating thoughtful new expressions of classic dishes that are fun, nourishing, and absolutely delicious.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for Managers and Supervisors to join our team and help us bring our vision of Chinese-American food to life — one full plate at a time.
About Us
Mamahuhu’s founding team includes Brandon Jew of Mister Jiu’s in San Francisco’s Chinatown and Anmao Sun and Ben Moore of Hunter Gatherer, a farm-to-table restaurant group in Shanghai, China. With experience spanning fine dining to fast casual, China to California, our team is united by a shared love for Chinese-American food and a commitment to sustainability, quality sourcing, and community.
Our mission is simple: to create Happier and Healthier Communities by spreading the joy of Chinese-American fare and tradition.
Job Overview
Mamahuhu is growing its front of house team. We have a casual, 40-seat dining room with bench, counter and booth seating. The dining room is designed for counter-service style ordering where guests line up, order at the counter, receive a number and we bring the food out to them when it’s ready. The front of house is designed to be simple and lean and works great when we have a tight, organized group who can work efficiently and as a team.
We are looking for a friendly and positive FOH Shift Lead that can run food, bus the dining room, hold down our point of sale (POS) counter during service and open and close the Front of House during any day of the week. The position is dynamic and will have you working in the dining room, at the POS counter taking orders, answering the phone and occasionally supporting our expediter in the kitchen. Our Shift Lead position is the first layer of leadership above our entry-level Team Member positions. As Shift Lead you are a leader during your shift, helping to coach our Team Members provide excellent service to Mamahuhu's standards day in and day out. Our restaurants are a fun, flexible, and teamwork-oriented environment!
