Job Description

Ted's Cafe Escondido is a well-established restaurant brand known for delivering high-quality dining experiences with a focus on fresh ingredients and exceptional customer service. Located in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, at 501 West Albany Drive, Ted's Cafe Escondido has built a reputation for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, making guests feel at home from the moment they enter. As a restaurant that values hospitality and guest satisfaction, Ted's Cafe Escondido takes pride in its dedicated staff who contribute to maintaining an inviting environment where every guest receives outstanding service.

The Host/Hostess position at Ted's Cafe Escondido is crucial in shaping the first impressions of guests as they enter the restaurant. This role is pivotal in setting the tone for the dining experience and ensuring that each guest feels welcome and comfortable. The Host/Hostess is responsible not only for greeting guests with a friendly smile and enthusiastic demeanor but also for managing seating arrangements efficiently and maintaining communication with the management team regarding wait times and large parties. The position requires a positive attitude, punctuality, and adherence to the company’s guidelines, policies, and health and sanitation standards.

In this full-time or part-time hourly role, paying $10 per hour, the Host/Hostess will perform a variety of duties that support the restaurant’s mission to provide exceptional service. This includes anticipating guest needs, turning tables quickly and efficiently without making guests feel rushed, and ensuring that guests’ experiences are seamless from arrival to seating. The role also involves familiarity with all four host positions—runner, greeter, hospitality, and podium—and requires the ability to multitask and work under pressure during busy service times. Physical demands include standing or walking for over eight hours daily and occasional lifting of up to 25 pounds.

Beyond the practical aspects of greeting and seating, the Host/Hostess at Ted's Cafe Escondido plays an integral role in fostering a positive workplace culture by treating all staff and guests with respect, demonstrating personal accountability, and contributing to a professional, friendly environment. The company values employees who are professional in attitude, demeanor, and dress, and who are committed to maintaining confidentiality and following all federal, state, and local regulations. This position offers an excellent opportunity for individuals passionate about hospitality to develop their skills in a customer-focused restaurant setting where every detail counts. If you are enthusiastic, personable, and enjoy working in a vibrant restaurant environment, this role at Ted's Cafe Escondido is an ideal fit.
