WHO YOU ARE

Guests remember how you made them feel. You make it count.

• You're comfortable selling without being pushy. You educate, you recommend, and you let the value speak for itself.
• You go above and beyond. You have a real example of a time you made a guest feel genuinely taken care of - not just served.
• You can handle a busy front desk. Phones ringing, guests checking in, a question mid-transaction - you stay calm and get it done.
• You're a team player. You show up, pitch in, and make the people around you better.
• You're available when guests are - evenings and weekends included. Part-time and full-time schedules available.
