About The Position

We are in search of passionate personalities to become the face of The Adolphus hotel’s iconic Rodeo Bar. This joint first opened in 1981 and served Dallasites and visitors for nearly four decades. We are now re-opening the Rodeo bar with a new menu, new vibe and back room for private gatherings while honoring the heart and soul of the original concept : “Texas grit and authenticity." Seeking warmth personified. A host/hostess is organized, quick-thinking, and positive and has a knack for hitting curveballs out of the park. This is the kind of person who never met a stranger and who goes the extra mile to keep a friend smiling. A host/hostess takes and confirms reservations, seats guests, answers inquiries, and communicates efficiently and clearly with front of house staff and leadership to help ensure exceptional dining experience.
