The Role

As a Host, you help guests feel welcome before they reach the table. You bring warmth, organization and clear communication to Centrale’s entrance, working with the Maître d and service team to make arrivals, seating and departures feel smooth and personal.

What you will do

Greet guests promptly and professionally, confirm reservation details and guide them through the arrival and seating process. Use the reservation system accurately and keep the door team informed about guest arrivals and table status. Communicate wait times and seating information clearly, maintaining a welcoming atmosphere during busy periods. Identify timing needs, celebrations and other relevant guest requests, and pass them to the appropriate manager and service team. Escort guests to the table, present current menus and follow the restaurant’s seating standards. Coordinate with servers, bussers, runners and management to support organized, well-paced service. Keep the entrance and host station neat and prepared, completing assigned opening, shift-change and closing work. Respond to questions with care, involve a manager when needed and offer every departing guest a warm farewell. What you bring

A genuine interest in hospitality, strong communication and a dependable work ethic. Experience with reservation systems such as OpenTable, with willingness to learn Centrale’s setup. Attention to detail and the ability to stay calm, organized and welcoming under pressure. An understanding of fast-paced restaurant service and a collaborative approach to teamwork.
