Job description

As banquet houseman, you are responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and organization of any banquet rooms, hallways, storage and service areas. You must routinely inventory and care for banquet supplies such as linens, chairs, china, glassware, flatware and decorations. You are required to set up the banquet room per the specification of a banquet events order, and then reset the room to its original state after the event has concluded. During the event, duties include assisting servers, transporting tables and equipment, reporting maintenance issues to management, and providing requested information to banquet patrons.

Additional Duties

You may be asked by management to engage in duties that are related to your position even though they are not routine. These include helping assemble temporary dance floors, podiums and other structures; upselling venue services and amenities to guests; relaying data to outside departments; and assisting audio-visual personnel in setting up equipment like speakers and monitors. In some cases, you may also be tasked with helping transport food, beverages, decorations and equipment to an off-premises event location.

Experience and Training

Most venues prefer their banquet housemen to have a high school diploma or GED. College degrees are rarely necessary, as the position is considered entry level. Some venues will also require at least six months of prior experience in the food service or hospitality industry. Those that don't will provide you with on-the-job training.

Required Skills

You must possess basic math and language skills, including the ability to follow instructions and communicate effectively (both verbally and in writing). Multitasking, reasoning, problem-solving, and paying attention to detail are desirable, along with the ability to maintain poise in fast-paced, high-stress situations. You should have strong people skills and a yearning to please your customers. Physical requirements include lots of bending, standing, and walking, and the ability to lift up to 100 pounds.
