Hosts

Parma Tavern in Buford is Looking for Hosts!

We offer an eclectic mix of Italian-inspired pub grub, featuring stone oven pizzas cooked in our 600-degree brick oven, fresh pasta with made-from-scratch sauces, house-ground burgers, and small plates perfect for sharing. Our commitment to excellent customer service motivates us, and we are dedicated to seeking outstanding team members who share our passion for serving guests and preparing high-quality food and beverages. If you love great food and can provide our guests with world-class service in a “no attitude” atmosphere, we’d love for you to join our team!

You have heard businesses tell you how much their team operates and feels like a family, but Parma truly does. We have had many of the same employees for the better part of the last ten years. We work hard, we’re there for one another, and we take care of our guests. We strive every day to provide a fun and safe atmosphere and deliver a phenomenal dining experience for all who walk through our doors.

The ideal candidate is someone who is a hard worker and a self-starter, maintains a strong work ethic, and possesses the intangibles we are looking for - helpful, kind, fun to be around, and guest-obsessed. Having a great knowledge of beer, liquor, wine, and cocktails is necessary. A minimum of two years of high-volume bartending experience is preferred. In the simplest of terms, if you’re looking for a great place to work with a great clientele, a high level of consistency, and the support of your peers and management, this is the opportunity for you.

Rate of Pay: $12.00 an hour
