Host / Hostess

Confidential employer | Staten Island, New York, NY Part-time On-site $ 18 - 25 per hour
The Host / Hostess serves as the first point of contact for guests at a Staten Island dining establishment, helping create an organized and welcoming front-of-house experience. Common responsibilities include greeting guests, managing the wait list or seating chart, confirming party sizes, escorting patrons to tables, answering general questions, and coordinating with servers and management to help maintain smooth service flow. The position may also include answering phones, relaying reservation details, keeping the entrance area tidy, and assisting with menu distribution or takeout coordination when required.

A typical candidate should have strong communication and interpersonal skills, a calm and professional manner, and the ability to remain organized during busy meal periods. Prior host, restaurant, or customer service experience is helpful but not always required. Because the job involves extended standing, walking, and occasional light lifting, applicants should be prepared for those physical demands. Work hours are generally scheduled on a part-time basis and may include evenings, weekends, and holidays depending on restaurant operations.
