Host

At Mercatto, we believe the guest experience starts the moment someone walks through the door—and that begins with you.

We’re looking for a warm, welcoming Host to join our dining room team. You’re someone who knows how to make a great first impression, stay organized under pressure, and set the tone for unforgettable dining experiences.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

• Participation in our Tip Sharing Program
• Health Care Spending Account
• Dining discounts across all eight Alter Ego Group restaurants
• TTC/Presto reimbursement – we cover 50% of your transit expenses, starting on day one
• Tuition reimbursement and internal growth opportunities
• A culture that prioritizes people, mentorship, and work/life balance

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Greet every guest with warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality
• Manage reservations and walk-ins to optimize table flow and minimize wait times
• Coordinate with servers, management, and the kitchen to keep service running smoothly
• Answer phone calls and provide accurate information about the restaurant
• Keep the host stand and front entrance organized, clean, and guest-ready
• Support the team with opening/closing duties and during peak periods

WHO YOU ARE

• You have previous experience in a guest-facing role (hospitality experience is a bonus)
• You’re friendly, professional, and confident interacting with all types of people
• You can multitask and stay calm in a busy, high-energy environment
• You’re comfortable with tech and learning reservation systems (OpenTable experience is a plus)
• You genuinely enjoy helping others and being part of a team
