    Default job background
    Description
    You never get a second chance to make a first impression, and our hosts play the crucial role of ensuring that our guests are greeted warmly, treated with aloha, and are made to feel welcome. Hosts are responsible for greeting and seating guests, as well as explaining specials and helping to familiarize malihini (visitors) and first-time diners with our dishes.

If hospitality is your passion and you love to share the aloha spirit, you're perfect for our team

    • Greeting and seating guests, informing them of specials and explaining our dishes to guests who are unfamiliar with Hawaiian or local-style foods
    • Managing wait times to ensure prompt seating and service, including anticipating and planning how to handle potential service bottlenecks due to large parties or reservations
    • Reviewing and monitoring reservations calendar to ensure prompt service for guests with reservations; alerting servers of any special notations in reservations details
    • Answering questions about menu items if guests' server is unavailable
    • Identifying guests who need help and assisting or obtaining help for them
    • Quickly and accurately report all complaints and/or service exceptions to the manager on duty so that action can be taken before customer(s) leave the restaurant
    • Secondary duties include serving as back-up for counter service, take-out orders and/or incoming phone calls
    • General stocking, cleaning, and daily maintenance of front-of-house areas
    • Assisting co-workers to ensure prompt, high-quality guest service
    • May be called upon to assist with serving duties
    Company Overview
    Highway Inn is an award-winning 75-year-old, third-generation-owned Hawaiian and local food restaurant. We are proud of the food we serve and the exceptional service we extend to every guest.
