Bussers/Host/Hostess

Are you a Confident, Composed, Charming, People Orientated, Team Player?

Whitby's newest Gastro Pub Bar Down is looking for just this type of person for a Part Time position as a Busser/Host/Hostess.

When a busser/host or hostess is confident, this confidence becomes contagious. A good busser/host or hostess is able to instill a sense of confidence in our guests, in the sense that they feel confident about the fact that they have chosen to eat at Bar Down Gastro Pub. If the busser/host/hostess makes a good impression on the guest as soon as he or she enters the door, the work the rest of the team needs to do in order to maintain that impression immediately become a bit easier.

Next to exuding confidence, being able to maintain composure is probably the second most important aspect of being a great host or hostess/busser. A good host or hostess/busser will be able to keep his or her cool even when the going gets tough. It’s a balancing act that not everyone is built to handle, which makes finding a host or hostess that can calmly navigate such situations imperative.

A great host or hostess/busser is charming and friendly, no matter what. A lot of the charm that good hosts or hostesses/bussers exude comes from two things – their manners and their verbal skills. A great host or hostess must be well-spoken and polite at all times.

A great host or hostess/busser needs to be incredibly likeable and should be leaving a lasting positive impression on your guests. People respond to people. It’s as simple as that. If guests don’t feel comfortable entering your restaurant and being seated, you can’t really expect them to come back – no matter how great your food is. The perfect host or hostess/busser is able to connect with guests on an emotional level and immediately establish some type of rapport with them that makes them feel at home in your establishment.

The bests hosts are willing to do whatever it takes for the restaurant business to succeed, whether it’s rallying the troops, keeping everyone on the same page, resolving conflicts or rolling their sleeves up and washing dishes. Whatever it takes.
