The ideal candidate is equally comfortable managing the reservation book behind the scenes, communicating thoughtfully with guests, training a host team, and standing at the door during a busy service knowing exactly who is walking in. Hybrid position: approximately 50% remote / 50% in-house. Compensation is competitive and based on experience.
