- Anticipate and respond to guest needs and offer a hospitality experience that feels natural, not transactional
- Answer phones and provide helpful, informed responses about the restaurant
- Present a clean, calm, and inviting host stand and entry space
- Maintain awareness of table status and dining room activity
- Support the team wherever needed to create a seamless service
- Offer a sincere and memorable farewell, inviting guests back into our community

**Qualifications**
- Previous host or hospitality experience strongly preferred, but not required
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Ability to stay grounded and organized in a fast-paced environment
- A natural sense of empathy and awareness of others
- Team-oriented mindset with a willingness to jump in and help
