Host Jobs in Gatlinburg, TN

In the Hospitality Service industry, a Host is essentially the first point of contact for guests and ensures their dining experience starts on a positive note. They are responsible for welcoming and seating guests, managing reservations, dealing with queries and complaints, and monitoring the flow of guests on the dining floor to ensure the smooth operation. They are also responsible for communicating with the kitchen staff to keep the service efficient. They typically have an outgoing personality, strong communication skills, and the ability to handle stressful situations with grace.

Before becoming a Host, an individual may have held roles such as a Waiter or Waitress, gaining firsthand experience in customer service and understanding the operations of a dining establishment. Another possible role is that of a Receptionist in a hotel or similar establishment, where skills like dealing with diverse customers, managing bookings, and coordinating with other staff are relevant. Some hosts may also have worked as a Customer Service Representative, developing their communication and problem-solving skills. Depending on the establishment's requirements, Hosts may need certifications like the ServSafe Food Handler certificate or a similar food-service license.
