**Overview**
We’re looking for a confident, sharp host/hostess — dare we say borderline maître d’ — who knows how to take charge of a room. You’ll be the first and lasting impression of the restaurant, responsible not only for welcoming guests, but for orchestrating the flow of reservations, seating, and service in line with our business goals.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a high-end dining environment, reads a room instinctively, and understands that great hospitality is both human and strategic.

**Key Responsibilities**

- Manage and optimize reservations using OpenTable, including analysing data to improve intake, turnover, and guest experience
- Anticipate busy periods and proactively adjust seating strategy in collaboration with management, floor staff, and kitchen
- Welcome guests with confidence, warmth, and authority, setting the tone for the entire experience
- Build rapport with regulars and handle VIPs with discretion and ease
- Handle guest requests or issues calmly and solution-first, ensuring service recovery when needed
- Coordinate closely with servers, managers, and kitchen to maintain smooth service and timing
- Maintain an impeccable host stand and dining room presence
- Lead by example during service and support the team when the floor needs it

**Qualities We’re Looking For**
- Optimistic, proactive, and solution-driven
- Accountable and reliable under pressure
- Natural leadership and strong team spirit
- Exceptionally personable with guests; confident and gracious
- Quick on your feet — literally and mentally
- Organized, detail-oriented, and business-minded
- Comfortable using data and systems to improve performance
- **Fully bilingual in English and French (required)**:

- Previous experience in a high-end restaurant or hospitality setting strongly preferred
- **Aperçu du poste**

Ce poste s’adresse à quelqu’un qui comprend que l’hospitalité haut de gamme repose sur l’intuition, la rigueur et une excellente lecture du flow.

**Responsabilités**

- Gérer les demandes et situations délicates avec calme et une approche orientée solutions
- Coordonner étroitement avec l’équipe de service pour assurer un déroulement fluide
- Maintenir un poste d’accueil impeccable et une présence soignée en salle
