We’re looking for friendly, professional, and dependable individuals who thrive in a fast-paced environment and love making guests feel welcome. As a host, you’ll be the first impression of the Hana Japan experience, and play a key role in managing our dining room flow.

Do you have a “whatever it takes” mindset? Hana Japan is hiring and looking for someone who’s sharp, dependable, loves food, people, and learning, and isn’t afraid to take initiative. We're looking for someone who doesn’t just clock in, but actually cares about the details, the guests, and the team.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow in hospitality and take real ownership. You’ll need to be someone who can think on your feet, handle pressure with a calm head, and be willing to learn fast.

You will also learn from ownership and management directly and gain experience in hospitality, operations, and leadership. If you’re proactive, reliable, and ready to grow, we want to meet you.

Responsibilities Include:
- Greeting and welcoming guests with a positive attitude
- Managing reservations, seating charts, and waitlists
- Organizing table flow and pacing for high-volume dinner service
- Communicating wait times and guest updates clearly and kindly
- Answering phones, confirming reservations, and taking takeout orders
- Working closely with management, servers, and kitchen staff to ensure smooth operations
- Accurately handling cash, credit card transactions, and takeout orders

What We’re Looking For:
- Reliable, positive, and eager to learn
- Comfortable talking with guests and teammates, a big team player
- Can handle a fast-paced dinner rush with confidence
- Strong communication and people skills
- Reliable, calm under pressure, and detail-oriented
- Ability to handle cash and POS systems accurately
- Experience with reservation and POS systems like Toast, and OpenTable is a big plus
- Available evenings and weekends (especially Friday–Sunday)
