Dining Room Host

Pica Rica dining room hosts run our dining room. Literally. There must always be a high sense of urgency and intentionality.

The dining room hosts collectively fulfill the roles of bussers and runners. Hosts must work intentionally to turn tables while always “keepin’ it REAL” and protecting our guest experience.
