Starting Salary: SAR 3,000 to 3,500 with FREE shared accommodation, transportation, and 1 duty meal

Job Role: As the first and last point of contact, the Hostess/Receptionist serves as the face of our establishment. Located in the heart of Riyadh, our restaurant demands a blend of traditional Saudi hospitality (Hafawah) and international luxury standards. You will be responsible for orchestrating the flow of the dining room while making every guest feel like a VIP. No prior experience is required; we provide world-class training for individuals with a warm heart and a sharp mind.

Key Responsibilities:
• The Signature Welcome: Greet guests with poise and genuine warmth, ensuring a sophisticated first impression that aligns with a high-end atmosphere.
• Flow Orchestration: Manage the seating chart and "pace" the dining room to ensure the service team and kitchen can maintain peak performance without delays.
• Digital Reservation Mastery: Learn to utilize premium booking platforms (like SevenRooms or OpenTable) to record guest preferences, allergies, and special occasions.
• The Information Hub: Provide clear, professional information over the phone regarding menu concepts, dietary accommodations, and our restaurant’s dress code.
• Guest Recognition: Proactively identify regular patrons and VIPs, ensuring their specific seating preferences are met before they even step through the door.
• Area Presentation: Maintain a flawless reception desk and ensure that all physical menus are pristine, organized, and ready for service.
• Collaborative Spirit: Communicate effectively with the floor manager and servers to ensure a seamless transition from the "Welcome" to the "Dining" experience.

Qualifications & Requirements
• The "People" Factor: You must possess a naturally outgoing and empathetic personality. We are looking for someone who finds genuine joy in social interaction and can read a room's energy.
• Cultural & Lingual Fluidity: High proficiency in English is essential for our international clientele. Arabic is highly preferred. You must be comfortable interacting with diverse cultures with grace and respect.
• The Growth Mindset: While experience isn't required, a "sponge-like" willingness to learn is. You should have a sharp eye for detail and the ability to maintain professional grooming standards at all times.
