Job Description

Denny's is a renowned restaurant chain that has been serving delicious meals across the United States and beyond for decades. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, round-the-clock service, and classic American diner menu, Denny's provides a family-friendly environment where customers enjoy everything from breakfast favorites to hearty dinners. As an independently owned and operated franchisee of Denny's, each location maintains the core values of exceptional food quality and outstanding customer service, while also adding its unique local touch. The franchise model allows franchisees to operate their restaurants independently, tailoring the guest experience to fit community needs while adhering to the high standards and brand reputation established by the Denny's corporation.Show More
The role of a Host/Hostess at Denny's is vital to the overall dining experience. As the very first point of contact for guests entering the restaurant, Hosts/Hostesses create a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages repeat patronage. Responsibilities include greeting guests with a friendly smile, engaging in polite conversation, and ensuring guests are comfortably seated while managing wait times efficiently. In addition to reception duties, the Host/Hostess also assists with menu suggestions, processes payments smoothly, and helps with beverage orders, ensuring guests receive attentive and personalized service from the moment they arrive until their departure. This position demands a passion for food and customer service, as well as the ability to work collaboratively with kitchen and wait staff to maintain a seamless operation. The Host/Hostess also supports the team by completing assigned side work and maintaining cleanliness in the dining area, which contributes to a pleasant and hygienic dining environment.

Because this position is with an independently owned franchise, employment terms, including staffing, scheduling, and hiring decisions, are managed locally by the franchisee. This independence means that the specific working conditions, benefits, and policies may vary slightly from one location to another. However, all franchisees uphold the commitment to provide equal employment opportunities regardless of age, race, gender, or any legally protected status. The Host/Hostess job at Denny's is ideal for individuals who thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment and who enjoy interacting positively with diverse customers. Whether seeking part-time or full-time employment, candidates will find this role rewarding and a great opportunity to grow within the hospitality industry. With a focus on guest satisfaction and operational excellence, Denny's franchisees look for team members who are enthusiastic, dependable, and dedicated to creating memorable dining experiences.Show Less
