    Back Of House Open Call — 6R Hospitality (Tribeca • Park Slope • West Village • Upper East Side • Upper West Side) ABOUT THE ROLE Our kitchens are not places where you clock in and crank tickets. They are places where labneh is whipped at 7am, lamb is broken down by hand, shakshuka comes up red and bubbling, and dirty duck fried rice hits the pass with the kind of crackle a regular can hear from across the room.
