Job description

We're looking for an Event Host to join our hospitality team — the kind of person who reads a room, anticipates what's needed, and keeps the night moving. This is an event-only role, not a regular schedule: you'll work the events we book, supporting both front-of-house and back-of-house wherever you're needed most. One week might be quiet; another might bring three or four shifts. Great for someone who wants flexibility, variety, and mostly day-to-evening hours.

Direct Responsibilities

• Check guests in at events and welcome them into the space
• Seat guests and guide them through the flow of the night
• Run food from the kitchen to tables, ensuring smooth and timely service
• Assist the bar team with non-bartending support — clearing glassware, restocking, keeping the bar tidy
• Occasionally take orders or relay them to the appropriate station
• Float between front-of-house and back-of-house, picking up wherever the team needs an extra set of hands
• Help set up and break down event spaces
• Represent TolHouse with warmth, professionalism, and presence

Qualifications

• Hospitality, restaurant, or events experience preferred but not required
• Friendly, calm under pressure, and quick on your feet
• Comfortable working an irregular schedule — could be zero shifts one week, three or four the next
• Available primarily for day and evening hours
• Strong communicator who works well across teams
• Reliable, punctual, and presentable
• Able to stand, walk, and lift moderate weight (food trays, event supplies) for full shifts

Culture

TolHouse is a private social club rooted in Toledo's future — a place where the network isn't transactional, it's transformational. Our events are where the community comes together: art openings, dinners, conversations, celebrations. As an Event Host, you're the connective tissue that makes those nights feel effortless. If you love the energy of a great room and the satisfaction of a night well-run, this is for you.
