Job Description
The Blue Warbler aims to be the neighborhood hang every neighborhood wishes it had. In a century-old drug store flooded with natural light -- and on a garden patio that will be an oasis from daily stress -- we'll bring together the laid-back spirit of the diner and corner pub with modern, updated flair. Our thoughtfully crafted food and drinks will be creative, nourishing and approachable, and our service will be so warm, friendly and efficient that it will feel effortless -- even though it will take a ton of hard work to get all the details just right.

If you take hospitality seriously and want to improve your professional credentials while spreading joy and making an honest living surrounded by fun, considerate, and grace-filled teammates, please consider applying to be one of the Warbler's first Hosts. We'll be opening our doors to the public soon, and we're looking for people who are as excited about taking flight as we are!

As the first point of contact, the Host sets the tone for the entire experience. We are seeking organized, high-energy individuals who can balance the logistics of a busy dining room with the warmth of a neighborhood gathering spot.

Key Resposibilities:
• Greet every guest with genuine hospitality, acting as the professional face of the restaurant
• Manage the seating flow to maximize seating while maintaining service standards
• Communicate clearly with the kitchen and service staff regarding pacing and special guest requests.
• Maintain a 'whole-house' awareness, assisting with menus, water service, or light cleaning to keep the entryway
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to stay composed and kind under pressure
• Familiarity with digital reservation systems or ability to learn
