Restaurant Host Jobs Are in Demand | Eater

"Located a few blocks from a major music venue, this neighborhood spot has added an extra weekend host specifically to check diners’ proof of vaccination and prevent large groups from entering without compliance. Management describes hosts as frontline workers who take vaccine-verification and crowd control seriously, and the additional team member acts as a deliberate barrier to entry to protect staff and maintain the restaurant’s policy. The presence of the nearby venue increases the need for a dedicated host to manage unpredictable foot traffic." - Dayna Evans
