This opportunity is with one of the largest casual dining concepts in the world, recognized for its commitment to community engagement and delivering memorable guest experiences. The establishment prides itself on creating an inviting atmosphere for its guests, emphasizing the "Make it Right, Serve it Fast" promise throughout its operations. Known for offering a diverse menu featuring craveable food and beverages, the restaurant stands out as a neighborhood favorite where every visit promises something unique — from lively Ladies Night Out events to cozy Sunday Family Dinners. Working in this bustling casual dining environment means becoming part of a dynamic team focused on hospitality and service excellence. The role centers around being the first and last point of contact for guests, ensuring a positive and welcoming atmosphere that reflects the brand's core values. This position is ideal for individuals who enjoy interacting with people and thrive in lively, fast-paced settings. The Host/Hostess/Greeter role involves significant guest interaction duties such as managing the wait list during peak times, accommodating special guest needs including boosters, highchairs, or accessibility requirements, and assisting servers as needed. Though prior experience in hosting, greeting, or related roles like maitre d is preferred, it is not mandatory, making this a great entry-level opportunity for those eager to start a career in hospitality. Candidates will be expected to contribute to maintaining the appearance and organization of the restaurant by keeping work areas clean, filling out feature boards, and decorating with balloons, enhancing both the functionality and festive ambiance of the dining space. Physical stamina and mobility are important aspects of the role, including the ability to stand and move with steady pace for up to four hours, carry objects up to 15 pounds multiple times a shift, and maintain cleanliness standards by wiping down tables and seats. Strong communication skills are essential, as hosts must clearly speak and attentively listen to guests and team members to facilitate smooth service and address any guest inquiries or requests promptly. The position demands a customer-centric approach to ensure every guest feels valued and well cared for from the moment they enter until they leave. This establishment is committed to equal employment opportunities and complies with all Ban the Box and Fair Chance Hiring guidelines, embracing diversity in its workforce. If you are enthusiastic about hospitality, enjoy working in a vibrant community-focused restaurant, and meet the basic age requirement of 16 or older, this role offers a rewarding environment to build foundational skills and grow within the industry.
