Known for its commitment to exceptional service and genuine care, Four Seasons creates extraordinary experiences for its guests, residents, and partners worldwide. The company's culture focuses on pushing the limits, fostering an environment where employees are motivated to grow and collaborate with respect and kindness. At Four Seasons, the belief is that an outstanding guest experience is achieved through a world-class employee experience, emphasizing a culture of mutual respect and continuous improvement. Four Seasons is celebrated for its genuine heart and commitment to luxury, where the emphasis goes beyond mere service to creating a lasting impact on everyone who engages with the brand.

Situated in the vibrant SoBro neighborhood of downtown Nashville, the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences is more than just a luxury hotel—it is the city's new social hub. This location is steps away from music, sports, and entertainment venues, placing guests at the heart of Nashville's creative spirit. The hotel boasts vibrant restaurants, sophisticated event spaces, a serene spa, and a rooftop pool with breathtaking views of the Cumberland River and Riverfront Park. Its blend of world-class Four Seasons service and warm Southern hospitality offers an authentic Music City experience to every visitor.

The role offered is for the Lounge Captain (Cocktail Server) position at Bacco Restaurant & Bar, the signature Italian dining venue at Four Seasons Hotel Nashville. Bacco is known for its authentic Italian cuisine, elegant service, and creating memorable dining experiences for guests. This part-time position serves as the primary contact for guests within a designated lounge area, ensuring exceptional service from arrival to departure. The Lounge Captain leads by example, mentoring support staff such as Back Servers and Food Runners, and maintaining Bacco's high standards concerning food, beverage, and guest experience.

The successful candidate will expertly manage their lounge station, ensuring smooth service flow and guest satisfaction by embracing the principles outlined in Bacco’s Service, Food, Beverage, and Wine Manuals. Responsibilities include warmly welcoming guests, effectively communicating menu items, daily specials, and beverage selections, coordinating with kitchen and back-of-house teams, maintaining a clean and organized dining environment, and handling guest concerns promptly and professionally. Moreover, this position requires involvement in training and mentoring junior staff as well as supporting other dining rooms during peak times, embodying strong leadership qualities.

This role suits someone passionate about the fine dining industry, with a keen understanding of food, wine, and beverage pairings, along with strong communication skills and a professional demeanor. The Lounge Captain position at Four Seasons offers not only a competitive salary but also comprehensive benefits and training to support career growth within a prestigious hospitality brand. Working in one of Nashville’s most exciting and culturally rich neighborhoods, the role promises an enriching experience both professionally and personally within the luxury hospitality landscape.
