Host
A good host sets the tone before anyone sits down.
A good host sets the tone before anyone sits down. The door opens and someone’s already there. The family with the dog, the first date, and the party of twelve all feel expected. The wait time is honest, the table is right, and the night starts well.
You’re the front door of the brae. No experience necessary. What matters is that you’re warm, organized, and steady when the door, the phone, and the waitlist all need you at once.
The RoleWhat the Work Looks Like
You’ll run the front door: greeting every guest, managing reservations and the waitlist, and seating the room so it flows. On a Friday or Saturday night, you set the pace for the whole floor.
- Greet every guest at the door and on the phone, warmly and right away
- Manage OpenTable reservations and the waitlist, and quote wait times you can stand behind
- Seat tables in a rotation that keeps sections even and the kitchen steady
- Know the property well enough to seat a family with a dog outside and a quiet two-top inside
- Answer questions about the menu, hours, events, and live music
- Communicate with servers, bartenders, and the kitchen throughout service
- Help with opening and closing side work and keep the front door looking right

A Note on Culture
At Maisie’s, the host is the first person a guest meets and the last one they see on the way out. You’ll be treated as part of the crew from day one, because that’s what you are.
This is also a strong place to start if you’re interested in building a career in restaurants. Learn the floor from the front door in, get to know the menu, earn the trust of the team. We promote from within when the right person is ready.
