The Airport Lounge Wait Staff position at Sodexo is a part-time opportunity based at the British Airways Lounge in Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). This role offers competitive pay at $21.75 per hour and is primarily scheduled for afternoon and evening shifts on weekends. The primary function of the Airport Lounge Wait Staff is to deliver exceptional customer service to passengers using the lounge facilities, ensuring a welcoming, comfortable, and professional environment. Staff members serve a variety of freshly prepared menu items including entrées, appetizers, desserts, and beverages with attention to quality and presentation.

This role is customer-facing and demands excellent interpersonal skills as the wait staff will greet and seat guests, present menus, introduce specials, and provide knowledgeable recommendations on meals, beverages, and wines while addressing dietary concerns such as allergens.

Benefits include flexible work schedules to support a healthy work-life balance, various health and wellness programs such as medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, holidays, and retirement savings plans. Many locations also offer site-specific perks like free meals during shifts, uniforms, safety shoes, and transportation or parking assistance.

Working as part of Sodexo’s airport lounge team means contributing to memorable travel experiences for an international clientele while developing valuable customer service and hospitality skills. The company also enforces strict compliance with local regulations on alcohol service, including certification requirements where applicable, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for guests and staff alike.
