Who We Are: People drive to Ford City on purpose for this place — 6,200 sq. ft. of timber frame, a rustic fireplace, a sports bar that fills up, scratch food, and one of the biggest tap lists in the valley. On a good night there's a wait at the door, and how it's handled sets the tone for everything after. We live by Ryan's Three A's: Atmosphere , the fireplace, the sports bar, the energy. Ammunition , the food and drink we put in front of people. Attitude , our team — the part you can't buy.

Your Role

You set the first impression and control the flow of the room. Seating well is the difference between a smooth night and a buried kitchen. Greet every guest warmly, in person and on the phone. Manage the wait list and quote honest wait times. Seat evenly across sections so no server — or the kitchen — gets buried. Take reservations and to-go orders, and know the menu well enough to answer questions.

Keep the entry and host stand clean, and thank every guest on the way out.

What we're looking for

A warm, outgoing personality. You're the first face of the restaurant. Organized under pressure — a full book and a wait doesn't rattle you. Clear communication with servers, the bar, and the kitchen. Reliable and punctual. No experience necessary; we'll train you. Evenings and weekends, reliable transportation, legal working age.

Where it goes: Host is where a lot of our servers started. Learn the room, the menu, and the guests from the door, and a section is the next step. Apply today — online or in person at Ryan's Creek House. Equal opportunity employer.
