Frankie Carattini, the doorman at the new Greenwich Village club People's, has transitioned from traditional door duties to a more dynamic, multifaceted role. Partners Emmet McDermott and Margot Hauer-King recognized Carattini's unique charm, describing it as an 'X factor.' They aim to foster Enlightenment-like conversations among diverse patrons, highlighting the importance of hospitality in storytelling. Carattini's commitment is reflected in his acceptance of equity in the venture, marking an evolution in his career from coat check to creative director of nightlife experiences.
"I guess I am creative director, director of guest services, chief vibe officer," Carattini said, showcasing the multifaceted role he plays at People's.
McDermott, a film producer, said that he and Hauer-King had recruited Carattini because he had 'this kind of X factor.' He added, 'I mean, why is Jimi Hendrix so good?'
Hauer-King said, 'The philosophical Enlightenment happened in places like Vienna, where disparate sorts of people were mingling at venues and having conversations that weren't expected.'
McDermott's mantra: 'Hospitality is the purest form of storytelling,' illustrates the club's intent to create meaningful experiences.
