Job Description

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que began in 1983 as a mobile concession unit serving great Bar-B-Que throughout the Northeast. In 1988, the company opened its first restaurant in Syracuse, New York, and has since expanded to six locations across New York State. Known for its commitment to fresh, homemade, and high-quality barbecue, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que offers a vibrant dining experience featuring hickory-smoked meats, homemade salads and sides, as well as signature sauces and dry rubs. The company has earned a strong reputation for delivering some of the best barbecue in the country in a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

We are currently looking for a Host to join our team at the Troy location. As a Host at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring guests receive exceptional service from the moment they enter our restaurant. The Host is responsible for greeting and seating guests, answering questions, facilitating smooth dining room operations, and enhancing the overall guest experience with friendly and timely interactions. This position requires excellent communication skills, the ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment, and a genuine passion for hospitality. Competitive pay ranges from $17.00 to $19.00 per hour, with opportunities for full medical, dental, and vision insurance depending on hours worked. We also offer accrued paid time off and sick hours, 401(k) eligibility after one year of service for those 21 years or older, and emphasize work/life balance.

Working at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que means being part of a fun and engaging workplace with opportunities for internal growth and promotions. The position promises a dynamic work environment where teamwork and quality service are prioritized.
