Maitre’d / Lead Host Description:

The environment of The Quoin is easy and elevated, and the attitude of the staff will greatly influence this. The server is the telecommunication line in the restaurant; their communication style needs to be concise, clear, and courteous. Hosts need to be knowledgeable about all aspects of the restaurant and city: food, beverage, local attractions, entertainment, cocktail bars, etc. If they don’t know an appropriate response, they will seek it. Hosts at The Quoin will be guidebooks not only for the restaurant but for the city. They will be snappy with their knowledge, quick on their feet, and calm of mind and body. They will constantly strive to expand their knowledge and willingly share with other staff members to ensure the strongest team possible.
