Host / Guest Experience Team Member
Hayashi Japanese Steakhouse – Midland, TX

At Hayashi Japanese Steakhouse, we’re not just looking for someone to seat tables — we’re looking for someone who can make people feel genuinely welcome.

We want our guests to walk in and immediately feel the energy, warmth, and hospitality that make a night out memorable. Our ideal host is upbeat, personable, organized, and knows how to create a positive atmosphere even during busy shifts.

If you’re the type of person who naturally talks to everyone, keeps calm under pressure, and enjoys making people smile, you’ll fit right in with our team.

What You’ll Do

• Welcome guests with a warm, friendly, high-energy attitude
• Manage seating and waitlists while keeping service flowing smoothly
• Help create a comfortable, inviting environment for families, regulars, and first-time guests alike
• Answer phones, assist with reservations, and communicate clearly with the team
• Keep the front area clean, organized, and running efficiently
• Bring positivity and hospitality to every shift
• Assist in taking to go orders and packaging them

What We’re Looking For

• Outgoing and friendly personality
• Strong communication and multitasking skills
• Someone who thrives in fast-paced environments
• Dependable, punctual, and team-oriented
• Ability to stay professional while still being approachable and fun
• Customer service or restaurant experience preferred, but personality and attitude matter most

Why Hayashi?

We’re focused on creating a welcoming environment not only for our guests, but for our staff too. We value teamwork, good energy, community connection, and people who genuinely care about creating a great experience.

At Hayashi, guests aren’t just customers — they’re treated like guests in our home.

If you’re ready to bring good vibes, strong hospitality, and a fresh energy to our front-of-house team, we’d love to hear from you.
