Doorman Double Dealer under Orpheum Theater $30.00 per hour

This is your opportunity to join one of New Orleans’ premier craft cocktail bars, located under the historic, world-renowned Orpheum Theater. The Orpheum Theater is seeking a very social, experienced and well dressed doorman with a penchant for 1920s New Orleans and creating experiences that surprise and delight.

A doorman ensures that each patron is old enough to legally enter the club by checking each guest's identification. He may also collect tickets or an admission cover charge. If a patron is clearly intoxicated, causing trouble while waiting in line or has caused trouble at the club in the past, the doorman can refuse to admit the troublemaker.

Doormen usually decide who gets in to the club and in what order. They track the number of people they admit and the number of people who leave the club to ensure that the number of people in the club doesn't exceed the maximum safe occupancy allowed by law. 

Experienced doormen interact with customers in a friendly and courteous manner. They use communication skills, rather than physical force, to interact with aggressive, intoxicated or obnoxious patrons. When they refuse a patron entrance to the club, a doorman calmly and respectfully explains the reasons why. After listening to a customer's protests, the doorman instructs the patron to leave the premises and may summon other doormen or bouncers to persuade the customer to leave.

Doormen greet new patrons and customers leaving. They might help arrange for a taxi to pick up guests. To help ensure that people don't wait in line only to be denied admission, a doorman often makes announcements to the crowd about the club rules and the requirements for entering the club. Provided it doesn't distract him from attending to the door, a doorman might also assist bouncers and other security staff with crowd control when there is a line of customers waiting to enter the club
