Manage the Lobby Bar: Prepare and serve local craft beers, coffee, and light snacks while maintaining a clean and inviting lounge atmosphere.
Solve Problems on the Fly: Address guest requests or concerns with empathy and a “can-do” attitude to ensure every stay is seamless.

Operations & Administration

Master the System: Use our Property Management System (PMS) to handle reservations, room assignments, and guest billing accurately.
Coordinate with the Crew: Work closely with the housekeeping and maintenance teams to ensure rooms are adventure-ready and up to our high standards.
Handle Communications: Manage incoming phone calls, emails and CRM inboxes, providing helpful information about our property, amenities, and event spaces.
Maintain the “Vibe”: Keep the lobby, retail nook, and communal areas tidy, organized, and stocked throughout your shift.

Community & Sales

Promote the A-Lodge Lifestyle: Educate guests on our unique offerings, from gear rentals and van camping spots to upcoming community events and live music.
Support Retail: Assist guests with merchandise and gear rental selections, ensuring all waivers and payments are processed correctly.

Organized, proactive, and comfortable juggling multiple projects
Proven track record of initiative, managing time and projects effectively
Strong communicator with a people-first mindset
Team oriented worker who can ask for support and support when needed
Comfortable following and enforcing company policies
Well versed in local attractions, outdoor activities and open ended questions
Self-starter with a keen eye for detail, organization and has a knack for cleaning
