Host/Hostess


Description

We are The Seafood Bar. We're a family-owned business, with 4 locations in Amsterdam & Utrecht and last year we opened our first UK restaurant, in Dean St. Soho.

About The Position

First impressions, they count. Agree? Great, then you could be just the host/hostess that we’re looking for to join our front of house department!

As the first person that our guest meets it’s up to you to set the scene for their unforgettable experience at The Seafood Bar. So whilst experience in hospitality is a plus, what we’re really after is a hospitable attitude, a friendly manner and a welcoming attitude.

Responsibilities include guiding guests to their table, providing accurate and detailed information about The Seafood Bar and ensuring their first drink arrives shortly after. You’ll be managing reservations, monitoring the flow of the restaurant including table turnover and guest arrival and departure.

The Seafood Bar has a family culture, we help each other out! So if necessary you will be asked to help out with service, so you’ll need to be a team player and have a willingness to learn new skills!

About Us

www.theseafoodbar.com

 Originating in Holland, The Seafood Bar was started in 2012 by the De Visscher family, Burgundian fishmongers, passionate only about the freshest and tastiest seafood.

The Seafood Bar is for people who enjoy life! You can indulge in oysters and cocktails, or just go for the simple fish & chips. We want to offer our guests a fantastic experience in a cosy, casual setting. It's our dream to provide our guests incredible seafood, and we're living that dream.

Sustainability is something the family feels very strongly about. Together with the suppliers, MSC and MSA certified fish is selected whenever possible. The kitchens also ensure that the whole fish is used, so there is no waste.

We have 250 staff working for us in Holland and we are excited to be welcoming London based staff into our family!
