Host

Job Overview

Do you delight in making lasting impressions? Join the Margaritas family as a Host / Hostess where your goal is to make the beginning and end of each guest’s dining experience nothing less than extraordinary. Responsibilities will include greeting our guests with friendly conversation, and using a seating chart to seat appropriately. To help our guests “sea” food differently, you should know the current “Ultimate Event” and popular menu items. Our restaurant gets busy, which means our host / hostess will need to monitor a waiting list, manage a floor chart with available tables, and be able to communicate with guests who are waiting. Additionally, the menus, waiting room, and restrooms should be maintained. As a member of an energetic team, the host / hostess may also need to answer the phones and fill to-go orders when needed.

BIG plans are on the horizon for Margaritas. Our team and restaurants are great today, but our future is even better. There is no better time than now to join the Margaritas Family!

Great Food

You can be proud of the food you serve. The tremendous variety of Mexican food makes us the perfect destination for Mexican food lovers. Our annual “Ultimate Events” like Cinco, National Margaritas day… etc are more widely known than practically any other restaurant.

Our love for doing what we do started in 1985 with our first restaurant, Tio Juan’s, in Concord, NH. The first Margaritas Mexican Restaurant followed soon thereafter in Orono, Maine with our first partner Stan Bagley. A few months later, my 21-year-old brother Dave Pelletier partnered up with us and, with help from many people, started opening more locations in Maine and New Hampshire. With the president and CEO lining up new locations and Dave concentrating on operations and our guests, things began to heat up and really take shape. Our Margaritas family grew every year, with amazing people having a lot of fun making fajitas, tacos, and shaking Margaritas. We knew if our restaurants were going to be special, we needed more Mexico in the recipe than anyone else.

Great People

You will work at a destination for celebration. Our restaurants have a rich history of hosting birthdays, anniversaries, receptions, reunions, and other important memorable occasions.

You are part of an amazing family. Our restaurants are a place where you can both make friends and find a mentor. It’s important that our family of team members flourish, learn and

grow.

You give back to the community. We host and donate fund raisers for our community where we donate up to 20% of the net proceeds of the sales on the day of the event to the charity to help their causes.

From the 90s to today, we organized trips to central Mexico for managers and staff to immerse themselves in the food and culture that we love so much. At Margaritas, it’s always been about the love and having fun. We are proud of our teams, past and present, and the thousands of you that helped and supported us along the way.

Today’s Margaritas is a summation of all we have learned so far. We look forward to many more decades of icy Margaritas, delicious Mexican food, and good times while making memories with all of you.
