Joining Thompson Hospitality means becoming part of a diverse and vibrant team dedicated to excellence in food service and hospitality. One of the exciting opportunities currently available is the Host/Hostess position at matchbox, an energetic and welcoming restaurant that offers guests an exceptional dining experience. As a Host/Hostess, you will play a crucial role in setting the tone for each customer’s visit by creating a warm, inviting atmosphere from the moment guests walk in. Your role is not just to manage seating arrangements but to ensure each guest feels valued and cared for throughout their stay. This position requires an individual with a friendly, outgoing personality who excels in communication and customer service skills.

The core responsibilities include greeting and welcoming guests with a positive attitude, efficiently managing waitlists and seating to optimize flow, providing guests with accurate information on menu offerings and specials, and maintaining the cleanliness and organization of the host stand and lobby to make a great first impression. Coordinating effectively with serving staff and kitchen teams is essential to guarantee smooth service and guest satisfaction. Moreover, this role offers a fast-paced work environment that demands high energy and stamina, flexibility in scheduling with some weekend and holiday shifts, and the ability to work calmly under pressure.

Working at matchbox under the Thompson Hospitality umbrella offers a comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, a 401(k) plan with up to 4% company matching, short- and long-term disability coverage, tuition reimbursement, an employee referral program, pet insurance, and exclusive discounts on hotels, travel, tickets, and restaurants. Employees and their relatives also enjoy discounted meal plans at HBCU client locations while attending school. This position is perfect for individuals seeking a dynamic workplace where they can grow their hospitality career, contribute to a dedicated team, and engage with a company that values diversity, community giving, and high performance standards.
