About The Library

The Library Restaurant & Pub is a locally established Indianapolis restaurant offering an upscale-casual dining experience in a distinctive French château-style building with a rich local history. We are known for our unique atmosphere, quality food, and friendly, attentive service.

Our goal is to provide a welcoming and comfortable experience where guests feel well cared for from the moment they arrive. We are looking for team members who take pride in their work, treat others with respect, and understand that great hospitality is a team effort.

About the Position

The Library Restaurant & Pub is seeking a friendly, dependable, and organized PM Host to join our front-of-house team.

The Host is often the first and last person our guests interact with, making this an important role in creating a positive dining experience. In addition to welcoming and seating guests, the PM Host manages reservations and dining-room flow, answers phones, assists with carryout orders, helps maintain guest-facing areas, and supports the front-of-house team throughout dinner service.

This is an active, hands-on position. The PM Host helps ensure the entrance, host area, and dining room remain clean, organized, and welcoming throughout service and assists with other front-of-house responsibilities as business needs require.

We are looking for someone who enjoys working with people, communicates professionally, stays organized, remains composed during busy periods, notices what needs to be done, and is willing to help the team.

• Communicate clearly and respectfully with servers, kitchen staff, and managers.
• Step in to help teammates when needed and when primary host responsibilities are under control.
• Complete assigned sidework and closing responsibilities.
• Help ensure assigned host and guest-facing areas are properly cleaned, organized, and prepared for the next service.
• Handle routine guest questions and concerns professionally and involve a manager when appropriate.
