The Role
As a Host/Hostess, you are the first impression of Joud.
You’ll welcome guests, manage the door, control the flow of seating and reservations, and set the tone for a premium-but-warm experience.
You’ll work closely with the floor team to keep service smooth, fast, and organized—especially during peak breakfast hours.
What You’ll Do
Welcome every guest with confidence, warmth, and professionalism
Manage walk-ins, reservations, and waitlists (clear communication, calm under pressure)
Seat guests strategically to balance sections and avoid bottlenecks
Coordinate with the service team to ensure tables are cleaned, reset, and ready
Keep the entrance, host stand, and waiting area to brand standard (tidy, premium, “camera-ready”)
Handle guest questions, special requests, and feedback with empathy and urgency
Support service flow when needed (menus, water, small guest touchpoints)
Follow daily checklists and shift handover notes to keep standards consistent
What We’re Looking For
Minimum 2 years experience as a Host/Hostess (restaurant, café, hotel, or high-volume venue)
Strong communication skills and confidence speaking to guests
Fluent English; Arabic is a plus
Organized, fast learner, comfortable with reservation/waitlist systems
Calm under pressure during busy breakfast and weekend peaks
Professional grooming and a genuine hospitality mindset
Team player with strong ownership and attention to detail
What We Offer
Competitive package (salary + benefits)
Training and clear standards (you’ll never be left guessing)
Growth opportunities as we expand and open new formats
A high-performance culture built on respect, ownership, and teamwork
Location: Abu Dhabi or Dubai UAE
Schedule: Rotational shifts (including weekends and peak hours)
