We’re looking for a Senior Host to lead the door at The Blues Kitchen.
The Blues Kitchen brings together delicious food, world class music and an incredible drinks menu, all under one roof. It’s built on great hospitality. Thoughtful service, proper food, and a space that feels welcoming from the moment guests arrive. We focus on the details that matter, how the room flows, how guests are welcomed, and how every visit feels easy, considered and worth coming back for.
As Senior Host, you take ownership of the guest journey from the moment they arrive. You lead the host team, manage the flow of the restaurant, and make sure every guest is welcomed properly. This is a great role for someone who wants to step into leadership and deepen their understanding of how we curate incredible guest experiences.
