Name of restaurant person?

Question

what do you call the person who checks your reservation when you walk into the restaurant? do they have a special name? (like the best chef is head chef...) idk

Answer 1

That is the matrede'. That is if the movies are correct.

Answer 2

In my town (and I live in New York) we call them Dearsusies. They all love it and they have given us discounts multiple times. Just go up and say "Hello Dearsusie. Can I have a reservation for" or whatever lol.

Answer 3

In the more upscale restaurants that person would generally be male and called a Maitre d'  or headwaiter.  In the more casual establishment this would be, of course, the host or hostess.

Answer 4

Maitre de is what I think they are called. A host or hostess would have the same responsibility.

Answer 5

Host/Hostess

Answer 6

Hostess

Answer 7

Usually they are a host or hostess.  Sometimes a "maitre de" who would sort of be in charge of the whole restaurant.

Hope it helps!
