Host - M.Bird

Job Description

Job Description

M.Bird is Tampa’s premier rooftop destination perched high above the iconic Armature Works, offering something rare: waterfront views, tropical craft cocktails, sharable small plates, and an atmosphere that transforms gracefully from sunset dinner to one of the most vibrant nights out in the city. A Three Oaks Hospitality concept, M.Bird exists in a world of its own, a deco-inspired rooftop where elevated dining meets high-energy nightlife, and every evening tells a story worth remembering.

As a Host or Hostess at M.Bird, you are the first chapter of that story. Before the first sip, before the first bite, before the skyline steals their breath — there’s you. You set the tone, hold the rhythm, and make every guest feel like they’ve arrived somewhere truly special. If you have the poise to command a busy floor, the warmth to make anyone feel welcome, and the instinct to anticipate what guests need before they ask, M.Bird is your stage — and the view from up here is worth every moment.

What You'll Do

• Welcome guests to M.Bird with warmth and intention — first impressions set the entire evening
• Provide accurate wait times and manage the waitlist with confidence and transparency
• Manage reservations and coordinate seating across our dining and bar areas with precision
• Escort guests to their assigned tables, present menus, and introduce their server by name
• Bid farewell to every departing guest — close the experience as gracefully as you opened it
• Coordinate with the wait staff on available seating and floor flow in real time
• Maintain a polished, organized reception area that reflects the sophistication of M.Bird
• Give extra care and attention to guests who may need additional assistance
• Answer incoming calls promptly and address guest inquiries with professionalism
• Step in to assist the wait staff as needed
• Perform other related duties as assigned

What You'll Bring

• A natural ability to connect with people and make them feel genuinely at ease
• Strong organizational skills — you can manage a full floor without losing your composure
• Solid understanding of restaurant etiquette and guest experience standards
• Familiarity with health and safety regulations
• Excellent communication skills, both in person and over the phone

• Flexibility to work late nights, weekends, and holidays
• Good physical condition to stand and move throughout an entire shift
• High school diploma or GED

• Experience managing reservations is a plus

Physical Requirements
