Job Purpose
The S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) Host/Coordinator bridges the gap between the ship’s culinary execution and guest engagement. This role blends luxury hospitality hosting, culinary storytelling, laboratory operations management, and destination integration to deliver a seamless, immersive cultural and dining experience for guests.
Key Responsibilities
Guest Engagement & Culinary Storytelling
- Mandatory Restaurant Presence: Host and conduct table rounds in the S.A.L.T. Kitchen every evening for at least two hours during dinner service.
- Pre-Service Prep: Attend all menu briefings 15 minutes prior to opening to master details on ingredient sourcing, preparation techniques, and regional narratives.
- Table Hosting: Provide warm welcomes, offer curated menu recommendations, and share the S.A.L.T. philosophy without exceeding 5 minutes per table to maintain guest comfort.
- Post-Service Retention: Actively promote upcoming menus, shore experiences, and program activities to departing guests.
