Captain

Jashan

Plano, Texas

Jashan
Plano, TX

At Jashan, we are not simply hiring restaurant employees. We are building a hospitality team around a very specific standard.

Jashan is an elevated Indian dining experience rooted in authenticity, scratch cooking, emotional storytelling, and highly intentional service. Our goal is to create a dining room that feels calm, refined, and memorable — where food, hospitality, and atmosphere all reflect the same level of care.

We are now looking to add exceptional front-of-house professionals who want to be part of building something meaningful and long term.

This is not the right fit for candidates looking for “just another restaurant job.” It is the right fit for people who are curious, disciplined, polished, and proud of their craft.

Role Summary

Captains are lead service professionals responsible for owning the guest journey for their section and helping shape the energy of the room. This is not simply a server role. This is a leadership role on the floor.

A strong Captain knows how to read a table, guide a pace, communicate with restraint, and support the room beyond just their own section. Captains are expected to model professionalism, composure, and accountability.

Core Responsibilities

  • Lead service for a section from greeting through farewell
  • Guide guests through menu, pacing, and service flow with confidence and clarity
  • Maintain command of timing, awareness, and table needs throughout service
  • Work closely with kitchen, managers, and service team to ensure smooth execution
  • Support guest recovery and problem-solving professionally
  • Set service tone and example for junior team members
  • Participate in pre-service preparation, menu training, and standards upkeep
  • Help maintain a dining room that feels warm, polished, and in control

Ideal Background

  • Prior fine dining or upscale service experience strongly preferred
  • Experience with chef-driven restaurants, tasting menus, or luxury hospitality is a plus
  • Wine knowledge and comfort discussing pairings is a plus
  • Strong communication skills and emotional intelligence required

Traits We Value Most

  • Presence
  • Poise
  • Curiosity
  • Ownership
  • Consistency
  • Maturity
  • Grace under pressure

What Success Looks Like

A successful Captain at Jashan creates confidence in the room. Guests feel guided but never managed. The team feels supported. The dining room feels composed. Problems are handled quietly and professionally. The guest leaves feeling looked after, not processed.
