Job description

Vic’s on the River is looking for an outgoing, personable, and enthusiastic River Street Host to serve as an ambassador for our restaurant on Savannah’s historic River Street.

This is a unique hospitality position and is different from a traditional restaurant host role. This position is outdoors on River Street for the entire scheduled shift.

Your primary responsibility will be to engage with visitors walking along River Street, distribute Vic’s menus, answer questions about the restaurant, and encourage guests to visit Vic’s on the River for lunch, dinner, drinks, and special occasions.

We are looking for someone who loves talking to people. The ideal candidate is friendly, confident, approachable, and comfortable starting conversations with people they have never met.

What You’ll Do:

As our River Street Host, you will:

• Represent Vic’s on the River in a friendly, polished, and professional manner.
• Actively greet and engage visitors walking along River Street.
• Distribute restaurant menus and information to potential guests.
• Introduce visitors to Vic’s and explain what makes our restaurant and location special.
• Encourage visitors to join us for lunch, dinner, cocktails, or a future visit.
• Answer basic questions about our menu, hours, restaurant location, and dining options.
• Provide directions and help guests understand how to access the restaurant from River Street.
• Share information about our Savannah River views, historic setting, and dining experience.
• Become knowledgeable about our restaurant, menu, history, private dining spaces, and special features.
• Communicate with the Host Team and managers regarding guest questions or opportunities.
• Maintain a professional appearance and positive attitude throughout the entire shift.

Who We’re Looking For:

This position is all about personality and hospitality.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Are extremely outgoing and personable.
• Genuinely enjoy meeting and talking with new people.
• Are comfortable approaching people and starting conversations.
• Have a positive, upbeat personality.
• Can make people feel comfortable and welcomed quickly.
• Are dependable and punctual.
• Can work independently while remaining productive throughout your shift.
• Take pride in representing a well-established Savannah restaurant.
• Enjoy being outdoors and interacting with visitors to Savannah.
• Are comfortable being on your feet for the duration of your shift.
• Have previous hospitality, tourism, sales, customer-service, concierge, or guest-relations experience but the right personality is more important than restaurant experience.

Important: This Is an Outdoor Position

Applicants should understand that this position is outdoors on River Street for the entire shift.

You must be comfortable standing and walking outdoors for extended periods and working in Savannah's seasonal weather conditions.

This is an active guest-engagement position. It is not a position where you will simply stand and hand out menus. We want our River Street Host to start conversations, connect with visitors, answer questions, and create interest in Vic’s on the River.

A Great Opportunity for the Right Personality:

This position can be an excellent fit for someone looking for a part-time hospitality role where life experience, personality, conversation skills, and dependability are highly valued.

If you enjoy meeting people, talking about Savannah, helping visitors, and being part of a restaurant team without working a traditional server or host position, this could be a great opportunity.

At Vic’s, our River Street Host is more than someone passing out menus - you are an ambassador for our restaurant and often the first person from Vic’s that a future guest will meet.

If you are outgoing, dependable, personable, and love talking with people, we would love to meet you.
