Job Description

Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano is a well-known casual Italian dining establishment recognized for its extensive selection of house-made and imported pastas, soups, salads, pizza, seafood, steaks, and desserts. The restaurant prides itself on using the freshest ingredients to prepare its dishes, providing patrons with a memorable and authentic Italian culinary experience. Situated in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, Biaggi's has become a go-to destination for guests seeking high-quality Italian cuisine coupled with warm, attentive service. The restaurant places strong emphasis on creating a welcoming environment not only through its food but also through its customer service philosophy that centers around making every dining experience special and enjoyable. The team at Biaggi's is dedicated to upholding high standards of quality and hospitality, continuously striving to exceed guest expectations to foster loyalty and repeat visits.

Biaggi's is currently hiring Hosts, a crucial role responsible for creating the ultimate dining experience from the moment guests enter the restaurant. The Host acts as the first point of contact and plays a pivotal role in establishing a friendly and hospitable atmosphere. This position demands a combination of excellent interpersonal skills, strong communication, and the ability to handle multiple tasks efficiently in a fast-paced setting. Hosts greet customers warmly, assist with reservations, and professionally manage the flow of guests to ensure a smooth seating process. In addition to greeting and seating guests, Hosts provide accurate wait time estimates, distribute menus, answer initial questions, and optimize seating arrangements to balance the workload among the wait staff. Further responsibilities include answering phones, scheduling reservations, performing side work, setting up stations, and contributing to light maintenance tasks around the restaurant.

Ideal candidates for the Host position are friendly, hardworking, team-oriented, punctual, honest, and possess a passion for exceptional customer service. They must maintain a positive attitude and exhibit professionalism even during busy periods. The role necessitates standing for long periods and occasionally lifting up to 15 lbs. Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays is essential to meet the demands of the restaurant's schedule. Biaggi's offers a competitive starting wage ranging from $14.81 to $16 per hour, dependent on experience, as well as benefits like flexible scheduling, career advancement opportunities, meal discounts, paid vacation, eligibility for health insurance, and 401K options. The company is firmly committed to equal employment opportunities and values diversity in its workforce, ensuring a respectful and inclusive working environment for all employees.
