The Story of Mazunte

Mazunte isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a journey that began in the markets and taquerías of Southern Mexico. Since 2013, we’ve been on a mission to bring that authentic spirit of exploration and connection to our communities. What started as a small dream in Cincinnati has grown into a beloved brand known for comfort, quality, and connection.

Mazunte Bodega is our latest chapter—a vibrant hub for tacos, tortas, and house-made margaritas, located in the Distillery District. We are looking for leaders who don’t just “run shifts,” but who help us maintain this energy.

As a leader, you are the heartbeat of the Bodega. You aren't just managing a floor; you’re setting the tone for our team and our guests. You’ll be the bridge between our high-quality kitchen and the front‑of‑house experience, ensuring every guest feels like they’ve found a second home.

  Experience:
  
  Lead by example on the floor, ensuring every guest receives the warm, authentic hospitality Mazunte is known for.
• Empower the Team: Support, coach, and cheer on our staff to keep energy high and operations smooth.
• Own the Shift: Handle the "nuts and bolts"—inventory, food safety, and quality control—with an eye for detail.
• Problem Solve on the Fly: Turn challenges into "no problem" moments for both guests and team members.

We are looking for people who are obsessed with great service and care deeply about the people around them. At Mazunte, we believe in community—and that starts with our team. We offer a positive, high-energy work environment.

• Hospitality-First: You have a "guest-first" instinct. You notice the small things—a low drink, a confused guest, or a teammate who needs a hand.
• A Natural Leader: You don’t need a title to lead. You’re the person others look to when things get busy because you stay calm and focused.
• Vibrant Energy: You thrive in fast-paced, social environments and enjoy the "controlled chaos" of a successful restaurant.
• Organized & Reliable: You understand that great service is built on a foundation of solid prep, clean stations, and smart time management.
• Experienced: You have a background in food and beverage (preferred) and are comfortable working a flexible schedule, including nights and weekends.
