• Warmly and graciously greet all guests upon arrival and thank guests as they leave
• When seating is limited, provide guests with estimated waiting time, notify party when table becomes available and accommodate special seating requests for all when possible
• Act as a liaison between the kitchen and dining room, and relay messages to support staff and managers as needed

Requirements for Success:

• At least one year of restaurant or similar experience preferred
• Have a positive energy, be ready to assist fellow support staff and work as a team player
• Ability to communicate effectively with managers, employees, and all guests
• A flexible schedule to work days, nights, weekends and holidays
• Constant standing/walking with occasional stooping, kneeling, pushing, pulling, or lifting
• Required to work Sunday shift
