GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Max’s South Seas Hideaway, a large-scale tiki bar and restaurant set to open in September in downtown Grand Rapids, is looking to hire more than 100 people for positions ranging from cooks and servers to bartenders and dishwashers.

The restaurant will open a hiring center Monday at 59 Commerce Ave. SW. It will be open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.

Max’s, which will be located at 58 Ionia Ave. SW, is being opened by HopCat creator Mark Sellers and Martin Cate, an award-winning rum and exotic cocktail expert who owns several bars, including Smuggler’s Cove tiki bar in San Francisco.

In a news release, Max’s said managers will conduct on-the-spot interviews at the hiring center. Applicants should bring a resume if they have one available.

The full list of positions the restaurant is hiring includes bartenders, servers, cooks, dishwashers, food runners, server assistants, bar backs and hosts.

“We will offer world-class service in an environment that’s designed to be as fun to work in as it is to dine and drink in,” Sellers said. “We will be hiring a team committed to creating a sense of Ohana for our guests and their fellow employee family members.”

Max’s will specialize in a fusion of Asian, Hawaiian and American food. It will also feature an array of classic and original rum, liqueur and juice-based cocktails. The restaurant’s interior will feature colorful lighting and original and vintage decor designed to evoke a “tropical paradise where it’s always twilight.”
