$24-28/hour + Tips Position Overview The Bungalow Kitchen is looking for a hospitality-driven leader to become one of the most welcoming and recognizable faces of our restaurant. This role goes far beyond a traditional host position. We are searching for someone who naturally connects with people, thrives in high-energy environments, and understands that genuine hospitality is built through presence, relationships, and attention to detail. This individual will act as a lead presence at the host stand and throughout the dining room, helping guide service flow, support the team, and create memorable guest experiences from the moment guests arrive. The ideal candidate is passionate about hospitality, confident in communicating with guests from all backgrounds, and excited to become part of the Tiburon community. We are looking for someone who values people just as much as operations — someone who remembers names, preferences, celebrations, and the small details that turn guests into regulars while helping foster a positive and welcoming culture for both guests and staff.

Responsibilities:

What We're Looking For:

2+ years of hospitality or restaurant experience preferred Strong communication and interpersonal skills Naturally warm, approachable, and engaging personality Ability to remain calm and organized in high-volume environments Leadership qualities without relying on authority or ego Passion for hospitality, guest experience, and team culture Strong awareness of social cues and emotional intelligence Interest in community engagement and relationship-building Experience with reservations platforms such as OpenTable is a plus Public speaking, communications, hospitality, or leadership-related education/classes are a plus, but not required

What Makes This Role Different:

This is an opportunity to become part of the identity of The Bungalow Kitchen. We are not looking for stiff or scripted service. We believe hospitality should feel genuine, relaxed, thoughtful, and memorable. The right person for this role loves learning about people. They remember names, favorite wines, birthdays, anniversaries, and the small details that turn guests into regulars. They understand how to read a room, create energy, and make people feel like they belong. This role also offers significant long-term growth potential within Clive Collective as we continue expanding our hospitality concepts throughout California and Arizona. At Clive Collective, we take care of our people so they can take care of our guests.
