• Strategically seat guests to balance server sections and optimize table turnover.
• Maintain an organized, updated floor plan throughout service.
• Answer phones, take reservations, and respond to guest inquiries professionally.
• Coordinate with servers, bussers, and management to ensure smooth table transitions.
• Handle guest concerns at the door with grace, escalating to management when needed.
• Maintain the cleanliness and presentation of the host stand and entryway.
• Support private events, large parties, and VIP reservations as needed.

Requirements
• 2-3 years of experience as a host/hostess in an upscale restaurant, lounge, or hospitality setting.
• Polished, professional presentation and strong interpersonal skills.
• Ability to multitask and stay composed during high-volume service.
• Familiarity with reservation and POS systems a plus.
