Maitre D' / Front Desk Receptionist

We’re Squeeze, a feel-good company, from the Founders of Drybar.

A bit about us: Squeeze was designed to revolutionize the massage experience, from our forward-thinking technology to our dedication to team member experience. We are focused on the human side of business, and we work to foster an inclusive environment, where everyone can shine bright. It's so important that we've made it our company mission to be the best part of our guests’ and team members’ day.

Our revolutionary app-based booking and payment platform makes scheduling, paying, tipping, and rating easy, breezy, Squeezy. Similar to Postmates and Uber, after a Squeeze massage, instead of dealing with a clunky, stressful checkout process, our guests simply float out with the ability to tip and rate their therapist at their leisure post-massage. Personalized services allow guests to select massage preferences as well as control in-room settings from lighting to sound, all in a beautifully designed space. It’s a completely fresh approach to a way better massage experience.

Meet Your Manager: Bella Criscuolo

"Hello! I’m Bella Criscuolo, the General Manager of Squeeze Westport! My journey through management, sales, and customer service has deepened my love for people, a passion I balance with time spent traveling and enjoying life with family and friends. My management style is centered around creating an equal and fair workspace where everyone feels comfortable and supported, with a clear grasp of our goals. Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr., I strive to lead with fairness and a focus on the well-being of my team, ensuring everyone is checked in on daily and that their mental and physical health is prioritized.

Our shop's culture can be summed up in three words: welcoming, enjoyable, and personable. My teams see me as a positive, easy-to-talk-to leader who is efficient, timely, and fair. When not working, I love exploring new places, each offering unique and fulfilling experiences, and my favorite TV show is 'Gilmore Girls.' If I were a dog, I'd be a French Bulldog—having always shared a special bond with them. And my perfect entrance music? 'We are Family' by Sister Sledge, reflecting the tight-knit, supportive atmosphere I cultivate in our team."

I acknowledge that I am applying for employment with an independently owned and operated Squeeze Franchise, a separate company and employer from Squeeze Corporate and any of its affiliates or subsidiaries. I understand that each independent franchisee is solely responsible for all decisions relating to employees, including and without limitation: hiring and termination, benefits, compensation, day to day activities, and terms or conditions of employment. Any questions about my application or the hiring process must be directed to the locally owned and operated Squeeze franchisee.
