Host Earls Kitchen + Bar 800 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02199

Job Description

Earls Kitchen + Bar

36 years ago, Leroy “Bus” Earl Fuller and his son Stanley Earl Fuller had a simple idea: to create a laid-back burger and beer joint filled with warm, friendly people. The first Earls restaurant opened in Edmonton, Alberta in 1984, and it quickly took off — and Earls has never looked back, opening locations across Canada and all over the US. While much has changed since Bus and Stan opened the first Earls restaurant all those years ago, many things are the same — Earls is still a family-owned business, run by great people who are passionate about serving delicious food and drinks in an inviting environment.

Today, Earls is based in Vancouver, British Columbia and has 67 locations across North America. Earls remains committed to offering guests premium globally-inspired food, with exceptional service in an authentic atmosphere.

The Host

As the very first touch point when guests arrive at the restaurant, the Hosts set the tone for the entire Earls experience. The Host team is the “quarterback” of the service team, responsible for creating the flow of guests into the restaurant to ensure our kitchen and servers can deliver world class service. They’re the linchpin to the restaurant running smoothly and the entire team being able to deliver on the company’s mission...which is nothing to shake a menu at.

Joining Earls also comes with perks to support you in your personal and professional journey. We’re committed to teamwork, community, and your learning and development. Our ultimate goal is that you leave here with tools in your pocket to live a life you’re on fire for; whether you stay with the company for 5 weeks or 5 (or more!) years. 

As a Host, you’ll:

- Inspire magic at the front door of the restaurant by engaging and communicating with guests when they first enter

- Create seamless section transitions and flow for the kitchen and servers alike, managing the placement of guests throughout the restaurant

- Be a source of support and a mark of teamwork, jumping in to help clear and reset tables when needed

- Be a business owner every shift you work, taking responsibility and accountability for service and communication quality and efficiency

What you bring to the team:

- The belief that people are the source of extraordinary experiences, and the desire to contribute to something bigger than yourself, every day

- Communication skills that foster an environment of connection and belonging, teamwork and productivity

- A willingness to learn and an openness to feedback, coaching and mentorship

- The ability to legally work in the USA (as a citizen, resident or holding other current and valid work permit)
