We are looking for a polished, professional Security Host to join our team. Unlike a traditional bouncer, you are the first and last point of contact for our guests. You will maintain a safe, upscale environment while providing the “white-glove” service expected of a premier dining and lounge destination.
Key Responsibilities
- Guest Relations: Greet guests warmly; enforce the dress code and house policies with tact and professionalism.
- Access Control: Verify government-issued IDs using scanning technology to ensure all lounge patrons are 21+.
- Floor Management: Monitor the dining room and bar areas to identify and discreetly de-escalate potential conflicts or over-intoxication.
- Safety & Compliance: Maintain clear exit paths, monitor room capacity, and assist with emergency procedures.
- Team Support: Work closely with the hosting and bar staff to manage guest flow and “cutoff” procedures.
Requirements
- Experience: 2+ years in security or hospitality (high-end nightlife or fine dining preferred).
- Certification: Must possess a valid New Jersey SORA (Security Officer Registration Act) license.
- Demeanor: Exceptional communication and de-escalation skills; ability to remain calm under pressure.
- Physical: Ability to stand for long periods (6–8 hours) and lift/move up to 50 lbs if necessary.
- Knowledge: Familiarity with NJ liquor laws and “TIPS” or “ServSafe Alcohol” training is a plus.
