About the Role

MAJC is the Hospitality AI Agent built for shift workers and operators—one platform designed for how the industry actually runs. It connects operators and workers on a single platform, free for team members and subscription-based for operators at $4.99 per operator seat per month. The platform helps hire, train, and retain teams with unlimited matches, no per-click bidding wars, and MAJC Trading Card profiles that showcase the human behind the resume.

Key features include:

• Jobs: Match on skills, shift fit, and culture with a per-seat subscription model.
• Academy: Five-minute lessons with real certifications that land on your MAJC Trading Card.
• Community: Moderated channels for workers and operators, with one profile across Jobs and Academy.
• Hospitality AI Agent: Provides 24/7 personalized support for policy, recipes, and scheduling help in clear language, with no access cutoff.

The platform addresses the industry’s high churn rate (72% annual hospitality worker churn, per BLS 2025) and 780K open hospitality jobs (BLS JOLTS, Feb 2026). MAJC aims to reduce turnover by providing tools, mentorship, and community to build stronger, more sustainable teams.

Why MAJC Exists

The hidden cost of churn silently impacts hospitality businesses. The average cost to recruit, hire, train, and replace a worker is $6,700 (Cornell Center for Hospitality Research), and with a 65% annual churn rate and 15 employees per location, businesses lose an estimated $65,325 per location per year. MAJC was created to address this by providing 24/7 personalized support, reducing churn, and improving retention.

MAJC Trading Card

Your MAJC Trading Card is a dynamic, portable profile that travels with you across jobs. It includes:

• Photo, skills, certifications, and work history in one place.
• Certifications from MAJC Academy automatically added upon course completion.
• Control over what work history carries forward when you change jobs.
• Free for every hospitality worker, with no app-store tier or premium upcharge.
