Be the first hello at Rupert's friendliest hangout spot

You're the first face guests see and the last one they wave to. Every shift, you set the tone for the whole room.

OV Burger Bar is hiring a Host. It's fast, it's lively, and it's one of the best ways to get your foot in the door of hospitality. No restaurant experience? No problem. If you love a buzzing room and you're positive with people, we'll teach you the rest.

Come for the burger. Stay for everything else.

We're tucked inside Rupert's oldest hotel, serving custom blended patties (never frozen, always smashed on a hot griddle), cold drinks, and the kind of energy that makes you want to stay for one more. We've got a sports side, an ocean-view side, and a team that genuinely likes working together.

Good food needs good people.

What you'll be up to

You run the front door and keep the floor in rhythm. A typical shift looks like this:

- Own the first hello and the last goodbye. Every guest gets both, and you set the mood for everything in between.
- Run the door. Seating, reservations, waits, and the occasional curveball. The door has its rules, and you'll know them.
- Keep the room in rhythm. A busy floor is a bit of a juggling act, and the whole team feels how well you play it.
- Be the link. Between guests and servers, kitchen and bar, front door and back of house.
- Read the room. A restaurant is always telling you something if you're paying attention.
- Keep learning.



The host stand is a front-row seat to how the whole place runs.

What you bring

Attitude matters more than a résumé. You might be a great fit if you:

- You light up around people and love the buzz of a busy room.
- You stay steady when the pace picks up.
- You're observant and notice things others miss.
- You're a self-starter who sees what needs doing.
- You're a team player who isn't shy about asking for help.
- You're happy on your feet for a whole shift.

Restaurant experience is a nice bonus, not a requirement. We'll train you.
