A cook's hands rest on a steel kitchen pass under a single hard overhead lamp, one hand flat on the steel and the other beside a tablet lying screen up, with a folded towel and the edge of a white plate nearby, in black and white.

Find Your Moxie.

It starts with what you already do well.

Tell it what you love and what people always count on you for. It maps that to real roles and ways in that fit the life you want.

It teaches you the place you’re joining.

A few minutes at a time, whenever you need it, from the leaders you’ll work beside.

It’s your concierge.

Staj is a personal concierge for the job. When you need them, it answers in the voice of your own chef and GM.

Put yours next to the example.

Hold your version up beside the one you were shown. Staj looks at both and tells you what is different, and what to change.

In your own style.

It learns how you like to work and helps you show up the way only you would.

Learn your way

  • A cook in headphones listens with her eyes closed and a gentle smile, violet and amber light on her face, a warm kitchen softly blurred behind her.

    Listen

  • A cook's hands slice a tomato on a wooden board, the guiding hand curled into a claw, with piles of diced tomato, white onion, chopped cilantro and minced green chile across the board, lime halves and a dish of salt beside them, and the lit edge of a tablet above.

    Watch

  • A server in a vest and apron reads a tablet held in both hands at a host stand on a winter evening, three glasses with small pours of white, amber and red wine on the counter in front of her, candles and dark blue windows behind.

    Read

  • Two white bowls of pico de gallo side by side on a steel bench, one held just above the bench in a pair of hands and one at rest, a tablet on a stand above them throwing warm light across the steel.

    Practice

  • A restaurant manager in a blazer and a new server with headphones around his neck share a laugh in a sunlit dining room before service, chairs still up on the tables.

    Talk it through

Share the Moxie.

Every leader who has walked a new crew through a big night knows things no manual holds. We record it in their voice, with permission.

A sommelier in training in a chambray shirt and canvas apron walks a vineyard row at dawn wearing headphones, touching a cluster of dark grapes as mist fills the valley behind him.
A silver-haired sommelier in a wool vest closes his eyes and smiles slightly as he smells a glass of white wine beside a window.
A server in a black apron smiles at a phone glowing with a warm gradient on a rooftop terrace at dusk, with string lights, diners and the city behind her.
A front desk associate in a navy jacket laughs with an arriving guest in a camel coat across an oak desk in a bright lobby filled with plants.

Food, beverage and hospitality has never been fully staffed, and plenty of capable people cannot find their way in.

We already have a working prototype of Staj, and we’re bringing it to hospitality teams now.

A mixed group of friends dances on a wooden floor laid over desert sand at sunset while a DJ in a white linen shirt plays records at a plywood booth, with a woman in a bronze pleated gown spinning beside a man in a shearling jacket.

For hospitality groups and hiring partners bringing in people who are new to the industry or leveling up.
