- Meal discounts — 50% on shift, 25% off shift.
- Most holidays off. Spend the time with your family.
- No experience required. If you're friendly and organized, we'll teach you the rest.
Who We Are:
People drive to Ford City on purpose for this place — 6,200 sq. ft. of timber frame, a rustic fireplace, a sports bar that fills up, scratch food, and one of the biggest tap lists in the valley. On a good night there's a wait at the door, and how it's handled sets the tone for everything after. We live by Ryan's Three A's: Atmosphere, the fireplace, the sports bar, the energy. Ammunition, the food and drink we put in front of people. Attitude, our team — the part you can't buy.
Your Role:
- You set the first impression and control the flow of the room. Seating well is the difference between a smooth night and a buried kitchen.
- Greet every guest warmly, in person and on the phone.
- Manage the wait list and quote honest wait times.
- Seat evenly across sections so no server — or the kitchen — gets buried.
- Take reservations and to-go orders, and know the menu well enough to answer questions.
- Keep the entry and host stand clean, and thank every guest on the way out.
What we're looking for:
- A warm, outgoing personality. You're the first face of the restaurant.
- Organized under pressure — a full book and a wait doesn't rattle you.
- Clear communication with servers, the bar, and the kitchen.
- Reliable and punctual.
- No experience necessary; we'll train you.
- Evenings and weekends, reliable transportation, legal working age.
Where it goes:
Host is where a lot of our servers started. Learn the room, the menu, and the guests from the door, and a section is the next step.
