Full Job Description

Alpino: James Beard Award Semi-Finalist | Detroit Free Press, Eater, and Detroit News Best New Restaurant

Position Summary

Our Host delivers the first and last impression of every guest's experience at Alpino. We welcome guests into our home and set the tone for a dining experience defined by genuine hospitality. The Host manages the flow of service through thoughtful seating strategy, ensuring every guest feels welcomed, recognized, and cared for in a timely manner.

Working alongside the Manager on Duty, the Host serves as the communication hub of the restaurant, connecting the front and back of house. This role balances reservations, anticipates guest needs, manages seating strategy, and maintains operational awareness to create an exceptional experience for both guests and team members.

Key Responsibilities

Hospitality

Greet every guest upon arrival and departure with warmth, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm.
Escort guests to their tables while introducing the restaurant and setting expectations for their experience, including pulling out chairs, taking coats, and providing high chairs or other accommodations when appropriate.
Recognize returning guests, communicate celebrations and special occasions to the service team, and ensure allergies, dietary restrictions, and guest preferences are communicated accurately.
Ensure every guest interaction reflects Alpino's standards of hospitality.

Reservation & Guest Flow

Manage reservations using OpenTable while maximizing seating opportunities and maintaining an organized floor plan.
Coordinate table assignments to balance server sections and maintain a steady flow of service throughout the evening.
Manage waitlists, walk-in guests, and reservation changes with confidence and professionalism.
Communicate accurate wait times while proactively updating guests throughout their wait.
Encourage larger parties to preselect menu items when appropriate and strategically schedule larger reservations to support a smooth pace of service during peak hours.

Communication

Serve as the central communication point between managers, servers, bartenders, support staff, and the culinary team regarding the flow of service.
Relay VIP notes, allergies, celebrations, accessibility needs, and special requests.
Answer incoming phone calls professionally and assist guests with reservations, restaurant information, and general inquiries.

Dining Room Excellence

Maintain an organized, polished, and guest-ready host stand while ensuring the retail display remains clean, stocked, and presentable.
Monitor the appearance of entrances, windows, waiting areas, and dining spaces throughout service.
Assist with table resets, menu presentation, silverware polishing, and other dining room support as needed.

Team Support

Support the service team by helping maintain efficient table turns without compromising the guest experience. This may include running checks, communicating table status and "out-bys," resetting tables, or assisting wherever needed.
Complete all opening, closing, and side work responsibilities.
Support other departments whenever business needs require.

What We're Looking For

A genuine passion for hospitality and creating memorable guest experiences.
Calm, confident decision-making in a fast-paced environment.
Strong organizational and multitasking abilities.
Excellent communication skills and professional phone etiquette.
Exceptional attention to detail with consistent follow-through.
A positive attitude and team-first mindset.
Comfort with reservation and POS systems.
The ability to anticipate guest needs before they arise.

Qualifications

Previous restaurant or hospitality experience preferred.
Experience with reservation platforms such as OpenTable is a plus.
Ability to remain composed during high-volume service.
Availability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Success in This Role

Make every guest feel genuinely welcomed.
Think several steps ahead to keep service flowing smoothly.
Communicate clearly, confidently, and proactively.
Take ownership of challenges and help solve them.
Support teammates wherever needed.
Sweat the small details that create unforgettable experiences.
