Answer 4

As a host, you are the person that the guest first sees when they first walk into the restaurant and the last person they see. You may make or break their experience. At the restaurant i work at, we seat people and answer phones, but we also take care of rolling silverware and counting how many tables we have in the restaurant. We also take to-go orders. Most places will give you a uniform or a dress code, and its VERY important to get non-slip shoes.
