Food & Hospitality Apprentice

Food & Hospitality Apprentice

Learn every corner of hospitality and help build something extraordinary.

About Marine Beach

Marina Beach — opening this winter in San Francisco’s Marina District — was founded to fill a gap in the Bay Area dining scene — a place for South Asian food that’s both thoughtful and approachable. The concept bridges the space between fine dining and fast casual, pairing vibrant, heritage-driven dishes with natural wines in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

The restaurant’s roots trace back to years spent in kitchens across the country and to inspiration drawn from Parisian chef residencies — where collaboration, creativity, and community are at the core.

Named after Marina Beach in India, the restaurant pays homage to the founder’s family roots. Today, it stands as a small, open-kitchen wine bar by the water, celebrating craftsmanship, culture, and shared experiences.

Why Work With Us

We’re not here to do business as usual . If you believe hospitality is an art form — part precision, part soul, part storytelling — this might just be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. At Marina Beach, we’re reimagining what food and wine can represent — creating a place where culture, community, and connection meet.

Our space is alive with bold  new flavors and fresh hospitality energy. We’re grounded by our biodynamic farm, which connects our food and our team to the rhythm of the earth. And we break through wine-world barriers — celebrating low-intervention bottles, small producers, and the joy of discovery over pretension.

Position Overview

As a Food & Hospitality Apprentice, you’ll be at the heart of our five-person team — learning directly from the Culinary Experience Manager (BOH) and Wine & Hospitality Manager (FOH) while supporting the day-to-day rhythm of the restaurant.

This role is designed for someone who thrives in dynamic environments and wants to grow into a leadership path within food and hospitality. You’ll flex between front and back of house, gaining hands-on experience in both culinary and service operations.

You’ll learn how a restaurant truly runs — from menu development and prep to wine service and guest connection — while helping us shape a culture of creativity, care, and collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

• Support both the kitchen and front-of-house teams as needed during service
• Assist with prep, plating, and dish execution under the guidance of the Culinary Experience Manager
• Assist in service flow, table touchpoints, and wine presentation with the Wine & Hospitality Manager
• Maintain cleanliness, organization, and flow throughout the space
• Participate in team meetings & offsites, leadership trainings, and 1 : 1 professional development with a Berkeley Certified Coach
• Contribute to inventory management, restocking, and closing procedures
• Uphold Marina Beach’s standards for hospitality, sustainability, and communication
• Bring ideas to the table — literally — to help us innovate and improve as we grow
