The Des Moines Marriott Downtown is part of this prestigious brand family, offering guests an experience that goes beyond dining or lodging; it is about creating moments that linger in memory. The establishment operates with high standards of quality and professionalism, focusing on unique guest service that transcends regular expectations.
This position is for a part-time, non-management Food and Beverage & Culinary role located in Des Moines, Iowa. The role is centered around being a Guest Service Expert who ensures that every interaction enhances the overall experience for guests from the moment they arrive until their departure.

Responsibilities include setting tables, coordinating with the kitchen staff, engaging with guests in a friendly and attentive manner, and maintaining cleanliness and order in work areas and storage spaces.
A Guest Service Expert at Marriott must maintain a safe workspace, adhere strictly to company guidelines and procedures, and uphold professional personal appearance standards. The role demands physical stamina including standing, walking for long periods, moving over uneven and sometimes slippery surfaces, lifting and carrying objects weighing less than 50 pounds without aid, and performing movements such as bending, twisting, and stretching required for daily operations. Attention to detail, a proactive mindset, and a strong guest-oriented focus are essential for success.
