We are seeking a part time host to join our team at Farm to People. The space is used as a restaurant, event space, and grocery delivery fulfillment warehouse during the day. Farm to People has a focus on seasonal and ethically sourced food and drinks and the menu reflects that. The restaurant is currently open Thursday-Sunday 5-10pm with opening and closing duties about 1.5hrs before and after opening hours. Because the space is so dynamic, we all do a little of everything and things can look different from day to day between the restaurant and events.
The Host's responsibilities will encompass creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for our guests and managing reservations and walk-ins to ensure a seamless dinner service. In addition to these core duties, the role will involve various tasks such as setting up the dining area, attending to guests' needs, filling water glasses and assisting with table bussing during quieter moments. After dinner, the host will assist with cleanup and breakdown. Furthermore, we host a range of events, including live music and weddings, where assistance is needed intermittently. While the primary focus is on restaurant hosting, we welcome candidates interested in both restaurant and event work to apply.
If this sounds interesting to you, please stop by Farm to People (located in Bushwick at 1100 Flushing Ave) this Thursday-Sunday anytime from 3pm-10pm to drop off a resume and have a quick chat with the manager. If you cannot make it by this week then send your resume and a short cover letter introducing yourself and any relevant experience (though we are open to training someone without restaurant experience who is eager to learn!).
Host pay is $18/hr with percentage tips from tip pool
Events rate is $20-25 dependent on experience
