The Role

As Lead Host, you'll run the front-of-house floor operations, oversee the host team, and partner closely with management to keep service flowing seamlessly. You bring warmth, poise, and a sharp eye for detail even on the busiest Saturday nights.

Responsibilities

  • Greet and seat guests with genuine hospitality, managing reservations and walk-ins across our full dining room
  • Lead, train, and support a team of hosts, setting the standard for professionalism and service
  • Own the flow of the floor — coordinating with servers and the kitchen to maximize covers without sacrificing the guest experience
  • Manage reservation systems (Resy, OpenTable) and maintain accurate wait times
  • Handle guest concerns with composure and care, escalating to management when needed
  • Contribute to a positive team culture on and off the floor

What We're Looking For

  • 2+ years of host or front-of-house experience in a high-volume or elevated dining environment
  • Prior leadership or supervisory experience preferred
  • Calm under pressure, organized, and detail-oriented
  • Genuine interest in hospitality 
  • Flexible availability including nights, weekends, and holidays

Compensation & Perks

  • Hourly rate + tip share
  • Employee discounts + friends & family discounts
  • Opportunities for growth within our team
