This wide-ranging presence offers employees a dynamic, engaging work atmosphere with ample opportunities for growth and career development.

This specific job opportunity is for the position of Host within Landry's. The role of Host is pivotal in shaping the first impressions guests receive upon entering the establishment. Hosts are responsible for welcoming guests warmly, managing reservations, and ensuring a smooth flow of seating and guest service operations. This role demands a high level of interpersonal skills and a genuine passion for creating an inviting and enjoyable environment for every guest. Landry's supports its Hosts with unparalleled training and development programs, designed to build skills and facilitate career advancement. Employees are considered the company’s greatest asset, and as such, comprehensive support, including flexible scheduling and multiple benefit plans, is offered to enhance job satisfaction and work-life balance.

As a Host at Landry's, you will be part of a winning team that prioritizes guest satisfaction from the moment they walk through the door.

This position is ideal for individuals who aspire to embody the company’s core values encapsulated in the "Be FAIR" ideals: Be Friendly, Accommodating, Inclusive, and Respectful. It welcomes team players who thrive in fast-paced environments, possess a guest-first attitude, and have a passion for food and fun. Though prior restaurant experience is preferred, it is not mandatory, as Landry’s exceptional training programs are designed to guide employees toward success. The Host position offers stable employment starting at $12.00 per hour and is a non-tipped role, making it a reliable opportunity for those seeking a steady income and career growth within the hospitality sector.
