About The Position

Great meals and good stories satisfy. Each independent restaurant concept we create revolves around its own story — our team lends decades of experience to making sure of it, from the cuisine and cocktails to carefully curated interiors. Thoughtful service, provisions with a point of view and endless attention to detail invite every guest to sit back, share a story of their own, and savor the magic of a well-crafted culinary experience. Our Hank's Seafood brings the finest low county seafood experience to Columbus. Seeking warmth personified. A host is organized, quick-thinking, and positive and has a knack for hitting curveballs out of the park.

A host takes and confirms reservations, seats guests, answers inquiries, and communicates efficiently and clearly with front of house staff and leadership to help ensure an exceptional dining experience.
