Host

Job Overview

We are looking for hosts for Faraway Place, a new concept in downtown Wausau that will offer a curated selection of unique smash burgers and other options with ingredients from local farms and bakeries. Our desire is to provide Wausau a relaxed meeting ground with regular live music, karaoke, trivia, and out of the box events that span a range of tastes/interests.

In turn, our hosts need to be lively and entertaining. While often times interactions at the counter tend to be brief, they are the front facing aspect of our food program and are ambassadors of the concept in general. Being able to maintain a friendly demeanor and a level of care for the restaurant is a must. We are here to serve the community and hold a space for people (staff included) to fully feel like themselves; pretension or judgement are antithetical to that purpose.
