Host
The Gig
First impression ownership — warm, confident, unmistakably polished, and setting the tone the moment guests walk through the door
Control of the front-of-house rhythm, managing reservations, waitlists, and seating flow with clarity and ease
Guest connection built through calm communication, accurate wait times, and an ability to make people feel seen, cared for, and excited to be here
Host stand and entryway kept clean, organized, and polished, with attention to detail throughout opening and closing duties
Active support of the dining room through table resets, floor organization, and team collaboration during busy services
A steady, guest-ready presence through long, high-energy shifts, jumping in where needed and showing up reliably for nights, weekends, and holidays
Requirements
This is a high-energy restaurant where the pace is constant, the room stays lively, and the floor never really slows down. You’ll spend your shifts front and center — moving with confidence through a busy dining room, connecting with guests, and staying locked into the rhythm of service — in a hands-on role that values presence, polish, and a strong commitment to cleanliness, safety, and hospitality standards. We're committed to providing reasonable accommodations to support individuals in performing the essential functions of the role.
