About The Position

We have an opening for full time BARISTA positions. This role involves making and serving coffee/espresso drinks and related food and beverage items. You will handle food according to HACCP guidelines and standards for quality food-service operations, and interact with customers and other employees in a friendly, courteous manner. The position is located at 945 Madison Avenue - New York, NY 10021. Marcel is located in the iconic Breuer building on Madison Avenue, a Roman and Williams–designed space created in partnership with Sotheby’s where cuisine, art, and design converge. Led by Chef-Partner Marie-Aude Rose and Executive Chef Juan Moncalvo, the restaurant serves refined continental cuisine rooted in French tradition and inspired by Chef Rose’s homage to the Paris she knows and loves. The menu blends classical technique with modern New York sensibilities, focusing on seasonality and highlighting carefully sourced local ingredients with minimal, thoughtful enhancement. We are developing skilled culinary craftsmen and women who want to grow in their careers and strive for excellence. The experience unfolds in a striking, design-forward space with an open kitchen, sculptural dining room, garden terrace, museum-quality art, and a wine program drawn from Sotheby’s cellar, all supporting Marcel’s mission to be a culinary destination of excellence in New York City.
