The role of Guest Service Expert at Courtyard by Marriott New Orleans Metairie is an essential non-management position within the Food and Beverage & Culinary category, primarily focused on creating memorable dining experiences for guests. Unlike traditional food service positions that center on mere food delivery, this role is about curating an experience that combines attentive service with quality food and beverages. Guest Service Experts actively engage with guests from the moment they arrive until they leave, ensuring every aspect of their meal is enjoyable and seamless. This role requires a dynamic individual who is approachable, efficient, and attentive to detail, always striving to exceed guest expectations.

As a Guest Service Expert, you will be on your feet for extended periods, moving throughout the restaurant and service areas. Your responsibilities include setting tables impeccably, clearly communicating meal orders to kitchen staff, personally interacting with guests to market menu items, serve food and drinks, and maintain cleanliness and order in food preparation and service areas. Physical demands such as lifting, pushing, or carrying items up to 25 pounds independently and 50 pounds with assistance are regular aspects of the job, alongside bending, twisting, and reaching. This hands-on approach is vital to providing a fluid and high-quality guest experience.

Success in this role depends on adhering to Marriott’s strict safety standards, company policies, and quality guidelines. Personal presentation and professionalism in communication are also highly emphasized, reflecting the Courtyard brand’s commitment to excellence. Although no supervisory experience is necessary and a high school diploma or GED is preferred, this position is an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking to build their careers in hospitality, offering a supportive environment to learn, grow, and thrive.
