Whether guests are joining us for a casual lunch, family dinner, happy hour, or a night out with friends, our goal is to make every visit memorable.

We're looking for team members who enjoy working with people, creating welcoming first impressions, and helping every guest feel at home from the moment they arrive.

• Dependable, punctual, and prepared for every shift
• Strong organizational and multitasking abilities

• Welcome every guest with genuine hospitality and a warm first impression
• Manage guest wait lists and seating using the restaurant's seating system
• Coordinate seating to maintain an efficient dining room flow and balanced server rotation
• Provide accurate wait time estimates and communicate delays professionally
• Answer telephones and assist guests with reservations, takeout inquiries, and general questions
• Assist takeout guests with order pickups while providing friendly, efficient service
• Coordinate completed takeout orders with guests and third-party delivery drivers when needed
• Help maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming lobby, waiting area, and host stand
• Open doors, acknowledge departing guests, and thank them for dining with us
• Communicate effectively with managers, servers, bartenders, Server Assistants, and kitchen staff
• Complete opening, running, and closing responsibilities

Team members are expected to:

• Welcome every guest with warmth, enthusiasm, and professionalism
• Maintain organized seating and efficient table rotation
• Communicate effectively with guests and fellow team members
• Anticipate guest needs and provide timely assistance
• Help create a welcoming, energetic, and family-friendly atmosphere
• Represent Hearth Pizza Tavern with professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine hospitality every shift

Hearth Pizza Tavern is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week.

Applicants should have flexible availability, including:
