Host/Hostess— Upscale-Casual Seafood Restaurant | Buckhead | Big B's Fish Joint
The host position at Big B's Fish Joint is the first and last impression every guest gets. We need someone who is warm, composed under pressure, and sharp enough to manage a busy floor — reservations, walk-ins, phone, and waitlist — without losing the plot. If you're the kind of person who makes people feel genuinely welcome the moment they walk in the door, we want to talk.
Despite the name, we're not a counter-service fish shack — we're a full-service seafood restaurant with a full bar, wine program, and a Buckhead clientele that expects a polished experience.
What the job is...
- First point of contact for every guest — greet, seat, and set the tone for the visit
- Manage reservations and walk-ins simultaneously using OpenTable
- Answer phones, take messages, handle to-go order intake
- Communicate table turns and wait times accurately to guests and the floor team
- Keep the front of house organized during high-volume happy hour and dinner service
- Tuesday–Sunday (closed Mondays) — dinner shifts primary
- Looking for someone interested in 3-4 shifts per week
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR...
- Prior hosting or front-of-house experience in a full-service restaurant preferred
- Genuinely warm and polished — you represent the restaurant before anyone orders a thing
- Calm and organized when it's busy; this is not a slow-night job
- Comfortable with reservation software (OpenTable experience a plus)
- Strong communicator — with guests and with the floor team equally
- Reliable and on time; the door has to be covered
WHY BIG B's....
- $20/hour + tips — strong pay for the role
- Established Buckhead clientele: regulars, professionals, families — guests who treat you well
- Smaller team means real responsibility and real recognition — you're not invisible here
- Ownership is on-site every shift; decisions get made, problems get solved
- Peak season (Lent through Labor Day) is our busiest window — consistent hours when you want them
- Staff meal included every shift
