Opening in early 2026 in Mayfair, MA/NA is inspired by the Japanese belief that every ingredient holds an invisible energy shaped by nature and human craft.

Mana is a spiritual force that is felt rather than seen. It transforms emotion into experience, and a meal into memory.

MA/NA will offer a seamless connection between restaurant and bar. Refined Japanese dishes will sit alongside a world-class cocktail, wine and sake programme. Cocktails flow naturally into dinner, and dinner returns to drinks. Every detail — from service and design to sound and light — is intentional and celebrates the extraordinary within the simple.

As Host / Hostess at MA/NA, you will be the first and last point of connection for our guests, setting the tone for the entire experience. With warmth, composure and attention to detail, you will guide guests from arrival to departure, ensuring every welcome feels calm, personal and considered.

Working closely with the Restaurant Manager and service team, you will manage reservations, seating flow and guest communication, helping to create a seamless and emotionally intelligent journey. This role is ideal for someone who understands that hospitality begins before a guest sits at the table — and lingers long after they leave.

• Handle guest enquiries, special requests and farewells with confidence and care

• Support service briefings and daily preparation alongside management

• Proven experience as a Host / Hostess in a fine-dining or luxury hospitality environment
