Host

Host — Barsella

Barsella is a new upscale Italian restaurant and cocktail room on SMU Blvd, opening in December.

Projected Start Date: Late November

The host runs the front door. You greet guests as they arrive, manage the reservation book, seat tables, and keep the room flowing evenly across the night. You answer the phone, take reservations and to-go orders, and quote honest wait times. You're the first person a guest meets and the last they pass on the way out.

The room is busy from dinner into late night. You balance walk-ins against the book, pace the seating so no section gets buried, and keep the door moving without rushing anyone. You keep servers and managers in the loop so the floor runs smoothly.

What we look for: organized, confident and calm with a full lobby and a ringing phone.

The facts of the job:
