Maitre D Jobs in Washington

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. They also handle customer inquiries and complaints, oversee food service, and coordinate with the kitchen staff. They are responsible for ensuring a high level of service, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere and maintaining the reputation of the establishment.

Important skills a Maitre D' should have include excellent customer service skills, strong leadership, organizational skills, problem-solving abilities, and a thorough knowledge of food and wine.
