Performing Host

**This role is a seasonal part-time position with an opportunity to go regular part-time based on performance, business needs and availability**

If you like to act while working, this is the right job for you! The ideal candidate views the restaurant as their stage while functioning as a restaurant hostess and bringing the character of our brand ambassador (Lola) to life.

Who is Lola? Lola is the ultimate hostess who welcomes guests in an expressive and warm manner. She is a proud Latina who loves people and enjoys hosting a fabulous party. She gracefully and rhythmically moves through the dining room as she seats guests, takes photos with them and sometimes dances with them. She’s outgoing, confident and physically expressive, gesturing with her hands and eyes. She is as comfortable speaking Spanish and English, and often speaks “Spanglish”. Lola helps Cuba Libre’s guests have fun.
