Dining Room Host - Guest Experience Maker

Chick-fil-A

Dining Room Host/Hostess

At Chick-fil-A, the Dining Room is more than just a place to eat—it's where genuine hospitality comes to life.

As a Dining Room Host/Hostess, you will play a key role in creating a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment where every guest feels cared for. This position is responsible for delivering remarkable guest experiences by combining attentive hospitality with a strong commitment to cleanliness and detail. This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in serving others, enjoys staying active, and notices the small things that make a big difference.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Create a warm and welcoming environment by greeting and engaging with guests in a genuine way
  • Proactively check on guests to ensure their needs are met and their experience is exceptional
  • Anticipate guest needs by offering refills, clearing trays, and providing additional items before being asked
  • Respond to guest questions or concerns with care, urgency, and professionalism
  • Represent Chick-fil-A's commitment to "second-mile service" in every interaction
  • Maintain a spotless dining room by cleaning and sanitizing tables, chairs, booths, and high-touch surfaces
  • Quickly clear, clean, and reset tables to keep seating readily available for guests
  • Routinely monitor and maintain restrooms to ensure cleanliness, organization, and proper stocking
  • Manage trash and recycling to keep all areas neat and presentable
  • Uphold all food safety and sanitation standards with consistency and attention to detail
  • Continuously observe the dining room to identify opportunities to serve guests or improve cleanliness
  • Work with a sense of urgency while maintaining a positive and calm demeanor
  • Support team members as needed to ensure smooth restaurant operations
  • Take initiative to go above and beyond in both service and presentation
Qualifications:
  • Passion for serving others and creating positive guest experiences
  • Strong attention to cleanliness and detail
  • Friendly, outgoing, and approachable personality
  • Ability to multitask and stay focused in a fast-paced environment
  • Dependable and team-oriented
What Success Looks Like:
  • Guests consistently experience a clean, comfortable, and inviting dining environment
  • Guests feel genuinely welcomed and cared for during their visit
  • The dining room operates smoothly, with minimal wait time for clean tables
  • Cleanliness and hospitality standards are upheld at all times
  • You actively contribute to a culture of hospitality, teamwork, and excellence

This role goes beyond cleaning—it is about creating a memorable dining experience through attentiveness, warmth, and pride in maintaining a space where guests feel valued and comfortable. Every detail matters, and every interaction is an opportunity to serve.
