Maitre D Jobs in Alabama

A Maitre D' is a key figure in the hospitality service industry, responsible for managing the dining room in a hotel or restaurant. Their main duties involve supervising the waiting staff, welcoming and escorting guests to their tables, taking reservations and optimizing seating arrangements to ensure customer satisfaction.
