What are the responsibilities and job description for the Jinya Ramen Bar Host position at JINYA Ramen Bar?
Anyone from Japan can tell you: the two key ingredients in ramen are the broth and the noodles.
That’s why at JINYA Ramen Bar, we work hard to ensure they both take center stage. Slowly simmered for more than twenty hours, each of our six signature broths balances flavors from whole pork bones, chicken and vegetables with just the right amount of bonito, dashi, miso, kombu, and other classic Japanese ingredients. The result is a rich broth that is thick, full-flavored, and unforgettable.
A Host presents a positive first impression of the establishment's friendliness, excellent service and high standards. The Host greets guests upon arrival, informs guests of their wait time, monitors a waiting list, enters guest names into the computer system, show guests to their table and bid guests farewell as they leave. The Host must be able to carry natural conversation with guests without sounding scripted or intrusive.
