The role demands keen attention to guest satisfaction, including timely handling of any complaints, follow-up inquiries about the dining experience, and encouraging guests to return.\n\nYour workday will involve memorizing and applying IHOP-specific terminology, order abbreviations, plating standards, and detailed menu knowledge. Accurate communication of orders and service requests to kitchen and bar staff is essential, as well as proper cash handling in compliance with SOP methods. Maintaining a clean and orderly dining environment by stocking and rotating supplies, clearing and resetting tables, and performing daily cleaning duties is critical to upholding IHOP’s high standards of hygiene and appearance. You will also be required to comply with all federal, state, and local health and safety regulations and adhere to IHOP’s uniform and appearance policies.\n\nThis position requires physical stamina, including the ability to stand and walk for extended periods during shifts and lift up to 20 pounds without assistance.
