WEEKEND HOST – Benny’s Breakfast Bar

We’re looking for a sharp, energetic Host to run the front-of-house flow at Benny’s Breakfast Bar. This is a 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and it’s a key role in keeping our busy, high-volume, 50’s-style diner running smoothly.

This isn’t just about greeting and seating. You’re the first impression, the waitlist coordinator, and the eyes and ears of the dining room—anticipating when tables are about to flip and keeping the next party ready. You’ll use Yelp Waitlist to manage guest flow and help keep service productive—even during the wildest brunch rushes.

⸻

What You’ll Do
Greet guests warmly and professionally
Manage seating and guest flow using Yelp Waitlist
Accurately enter guest info and page customers at the right time
Anticipate when tables are finishing up so the next guests can be seated quickly
Clearly and calmly explain wait times and first-come, first-served policy (when asked)
Maintain a clean and welcoming front entry and waiting area
Jump in to wipe or explicit a table only if needed to avoid delays in seating
Stay alert, stay in motion—this is a high-flow environment

⸻

What You Need
Weekend & holiday availability
Friendly, confident communicator with great multitasking skills




Situational awareness—you can tell when a table’s wrapping up without hovering
Comfortable using a tablet (Yelp Waitlist) and basic tech
Calm under pressure, polished in appearance, professional in tone
Reliable and punctual—we don’t overstaff, and your shift matters
Guest service experience is a plus, but we’ll train the right person

⸻ Why Benny’s?

Because we do things differently. We’re a fast-paced, 50’s-style diner with real systems, a loyal guest base, and a team that doesn’t believe in standing around. We take care of our regulars, run the floor like a machine, and respect every role in the building—including yours.

If you’re sharp, organized, and know how to keep people moving with a smile, we want you on the floor.
