About The Position

Set the Stage. Move the Room. Make the Event Happen. Before the guests arrive, you make the room come to life. A meeting room doesn't set itself. Tables need to be positioned. Chairs need to be arranged. Staging needs to be moved. Water and glassware need to be ready. And when one event ends, the room needs to be transformed for whatever comes next. That's where our Banquet Houseperson comes in. We're looking for an energetic, dependable team member who takes pride in creating clean, organized, event-ready spaces and doesn't mind rolling up their sleeves to get the job done. If you enjoy staying active, working with a team, and seeing the immediate results of your hard work, this could be a great opportunity for you.

Dependable — your team can count on you to show up and be ready.
Physically capable — you're comfortable moving furniture and equipment throughout a shift.
A team player — you're willing to jump in wherever help is needed.
Detail-oriented — you notice when a room isn't quite ready and know that the details matter.
Organized — you can follow room setups and event specifications.
