Job Description

Landry's Inc. is a renowned restaurant and hospitality company known for its commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences across its diverse portfolio of dining, retail, amusement, and hotel establishments. With a strong emphasis on employee growth and development, Landry's fosters a positive and inclusive work environment where diversity is highly valued. The company views its employees as its greatest asset, providing unparalleled training programs and numerous opportunities for career advancement within the organization.

As a Host at Landry's, you become a vital part of a dynamic team dedicated to exceeding guest expectations from the moment they walk through the doors. This role is not just any job — it offers a chance to engage with guests in a fast-paced, guest-focused atmosphere while supporting the overall dining experience. Hosts at Landry's are supported with flexible scheduling, multiple benefit plans tailored to individual needs, and paid time off or sick leave depending on location. Moreover, this position is a tipped role with a starting wage of $8.00 per hour, but it does not earn tips directly.

The Host is often the first point of contact for guests, responsible for creating warm, welcoming interactions that set the tone for an enjoyable visit. This position requires a team player who embraces the company’s "Be FAIR" ideals: Be Friendly, Accommodating, Inclusive, and Respectful. Prior restaurant experience is preferred, though a passion for great food and fun, alongside comfort working in a fast-paced setting, are equally important. Landry’s not only prioritizes excellent guest service but also provides opportunities for community volunteer involvement through its Landry’s League programs, enhancing team camaraderie and corporate social responsibility.

In this role, you will benefit from generous employee discounts across dining, retail, amusements, and hotels, making the experience rewarding both professionally and personally. This job is perfect for individuals seeking structured growth in the hospitality industry who are eager to contribute positively to a respectful and diverse workplace. By joining Landry's team, you align with a company committed to excellence, employee satisfaction, and memorable guest experiences that keep customers returning.
