Host — The French Pantry at 36 Granada


St. Augustine, FL | Full-Time & Part-Time | Competitive Pay + Tips


The First Impression Is Everything


At The French Pantry, the guest experience doesn't start at the table.  It starts at the door. We're a fast-paced, upscale casual restaurant in the heart of historic downtown St. Augustine, and our host stand sets the tone for every single table that walks through it. We're looking for a true hospitality professional to own that moment: someone with the presence, poise, and instincts to make every guest feel like the most important person in the room, even on our busiest nights.


This is not an entry-level "watch the door" job. This is a position for someone who understands that hosting is a craft — reading a room, managing a wait list under pressure, and making split-second decisions that shape a guest's entire night. If you take pride in doing that well, we want to talk to you.


What we need:

  • Set the tone at the door. Deliver a warm, genuine, and polished greeting to every guest — every time, no exceptions.

  • Manage the flow with real judgment. Quote accurate wait times, pace the seating chart strategically, and balance the dining room and the kitchen so both run smoothly.

  • Personalize every visit. Remember regulars, note special occasions, and anticipate needs before guests have to ask.

  • Coordinate the handoff. Communicate clearly with servers and management so nothing gets lost between the door and the table.

  • Close the loop. Deliver a genuine farewell and flag any concerns to a manager immediately — you're often the first and last person a guest sees.

  • Keep the front of house sharp. Maintain a clean, organized host stand and lobby that reflects the quality of the restaurant behind you.


Who we are looking for:

  • A true professional — someone who treats hosting as a career skill, not a placeholder job

  • Composure and sharp judgment under pressure during high-volume rushes

  • Natural warmth paired with confidence and strong communication

  • Reliability: on time, in uniform, ready to lead the floor from the door

  • Prior host, server, or guest-services experience in a busy, upscale, or full-service restaurant preferred

  • Someone who genuinely believes personal hospitality — not scripted service — is what makes a night memorable


Why The French Pantry


We're locally owned and hands-on, part of the 36 Granada family in the heart of historic St. Augustine. We care deeply about craft, genuine hospitality, and building a strong, stable team — and we invest in the people who show up ready to raise the standard with us. Pay is competitive and based on experience, reflecting the pace and quality of service we expect from every member of our team.


Personal hospitality is our way. If that's your standard too, we want you at our door.

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 4/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
