Host | Somma

Somma is part of The Lo and Behold Group, a hospitality company known for its ability to create timeless destinations and thought-leading experiences.

As a team, we are very passionate about the potential our industry has in shaping a city and take great pride in grooming the next generation of hospitality leaders. We build career paths around the individual, develop training modules both in-house and out, and design incentives and recognition programmes to ensure that good work always pays off.

For its efforts, the group has been recognised as a Human Capital Partner with the Ministry of Manpower, a “Great Place To Work” (2022 to 2025) and one of AON’s Best Employers. Wherever you are on the team, whatever your definition of success, we’ll set you on the right path.

Our reservations team is integral to the guest experience, and is often the first encounter with our brand. This role sets the scene for our Front of House to be able to deliver unparalleled service and experiences to our guests.

You'll be in charge of:

• First point of contact for guests; Greet guests promptly as they arrive at the restaurant
• Manage reservations through phone calls, emails, and other forms of communications
• Monitor reservation trends and adjust seating availability accordingly to optimize table turnover and guest satisfaction
• Must keep up-to-date with our product knowledge/seasonal produce and have the ability to confidently answer guests’ questions over phone calls, emails, and other forms of communication
• Ensure that menus are changed according to lunch or dinner service and that they are up to date and presentable
• Address guests by name, recognize any special occasions or dietary requirements mentioned, and pass on the information to your team members for a personalized guests experience
• Manage the flow of Guests into the Dining and Bar areas, provide accurate wait times to incoming Guests if appropriate
• Maintain a clean reception area
   

We love people who:

• Go above and beyond to make someone else's day 
• Are thoughtful and kind, while upholding high standards 
• Own outcomes and drive solutions
• Are ever-curious and always learning

Benefits:

We believe in taking care of our people, so they can take care of others. We recognise and support each individual through our TLBG Partnership Programme (a monthly sales incentive), medical and insurance coverage, employee dining discounts across our venues, celebrations for each individual’s key milestones, as well as one month sabbaticals for long-service individuals.
