Job Description

Towne Park is a leading hospitality services company dedicated to creating memorable and exceptional experiences for its guests. With a commitment to service excellence, Towne Park specializes in providing comprehensive parking and guest services at various venues, including hotels, hospitals, and entertainment centers. The company prides itself on its ethic of enhancing guest satisfaction by delivering compassionate, attentive service actions that make a tangible difference in the lives of millions of patients, visitors, and guests each year. Positioned as a company that values both its customers and associates, Towne Park offers an environment where employees can make a meaningful impact daily and grow professionally within a supportive community.

The role of Guest Service Captain at Towne Park is pivotal in ensuring that guests receive outstanding hospitality services in alignment with the company standards. This position serves as a frontline leader during a shift, orchestrating the hotel guest service experience while collaborating closely with team members to meet and surpass service expectations. Reporting to the Account Manager, the Guest Service Captain is entrusted with additional responsibilities, including coordination, administration, and providing guidance or resolving issues during the manager's absence. Although not a managerial position, this role demands quick judgment and the ability to handle urgent matters effectively to maintain seamless operations and enhance guest satisfaction.

This position offers an hourly wage ranging from $16.90 to $17.00 plus tips, reflecting Towne Park’s commitment to fair and competitive compensation based on the applicant's experience, skills, education, and location. The work schedule is balanced across all days of the week, Monday through Sunday, creating an opportunity for consistent employment with recognized benefits, excluding seasonal and temporary roles. Benefits offered to eligible employees include access to accident insurance, critical illness insurance, hospital indemnity coverage, telemedicine services, and a 401k retirement savings plan, dependent on job classification and tenure. These benefits reinforce Towne Park’s dedication to employee well-being and financial security.

The Guest Service Captain’s core duties revolve around ensuring guests feel welcomed and valued. This includes greeting guests promptly upon arrival, facilitating valet parking services, providing detailed knowledge about hotel amenities and local attractions, and assisting with inquiries ranging from reservations to directions. Leadership is an important aspect of the role; the Guest Service Captain leads by example with effective communication and teamwork, assigns routine and special tasks to associates, and has the authority to adjust staffing according to business needs under the supervision of the Account Manager.

Physical demands and working conditions reflect the dynamic and sometimes demanding nature of hospitality services. The role requires physical stamina, including lifting up to 100 pounds occasionally, standing or walking for extended periods, and working outdoors in varying weather conditions. Safety is paramount, with mandatory completion of wheelchair safety training and adherence to confidentiality standards, such as HIPAA compliance. This combination of responsibilities requires a candidate who is attentive, compassionate, and capable of multitasking in a fast-paced environment.

In summary, the Guest Service Captain at Towne Park is a blend of customer service excellence, supervisory support, and operational resourcefulness. This role is ideal for individuals who thrive on interaction with diverse groups of people, possess strong communication skills, and seek to contribute positively to a respected hospitality services company. Towne Park offers not just a job but a fulfilling career path where every interaction is an opportunity to create smiles and lasting impressions.
