About Tillie’s 

Housed in a 19th-century Vietnamese town hall reborn under Texas skies, Tillie’s is where globally inspired flavors meet Hill Country soul. Here, every meal begins with a first impression—a warm smile, a perfectly set table, and the quiet promise that tonight’s dinner will be a story guests retell for years.  

Your Role: Conductor of Welcomes 

As our Host/Hostess, you’re not just seating guests—you’re orchestrating the first scene of their culinary journey. You’ll set the tone for evenings where laughter mingles with clinking glasses, and every “Good evening!” feels like an invitation to something extraordinary.  

Think of yourself as the opening note of a symphony—a smile that says, “Your adventure starts here.”  

What You’ll Create 

• Magic at the door: Greet guests like old friends, whether they’re celebrating an anniversary or craving Tillie’s famous shrimp and grits.  

• Seating sorcery: Master the art of table flow, balancing romantic corner booths with lively group tables under our vaulted timber ceilings.  

• Storytelling moments: Share tidbits about our history (“Did you know this building sailed from Vietnam?”) or the chef’s latest Hill Country harvest special.  

• Seamless harmony: Sync with servers and kitchen crews to ensure the rhythm of the dining room feels effortless, even on a packed Saturday night. 

Who You Are 

• A people magnet with a knack for reading a room—you sense the couple craving privacy and the family ready for a feast.  

• Detail-obsessed organizer: You juggle reservations like a pro, but your superpower is making guests feel like they’re your only priority.  

• TABC & Food Handler certified (or eager to learn)—these are your keys to the kingdom.  

• Weekend warrior: Thrive in the buzz of brunch crowds, sunset diners, and moonlit dessert seekers. 

Why You’ll Love It Here 

• Compensation: Competitive hourly wage + tips (your smile earns its keep!).  

• Perks with Purpose:  

• Feast & Explore: Family meals with Tillie’s famed dishes + discounts on stays in our historic cottages.  

• Grow with Us: A path to Lead Host or Management—your career, your script.  

• Care for You: Medical/dental/vision, PTO, and paid holidays to recharge under the stars.  

• Team Vibes: Work alongside fellow storytellers who high-five over flawless seatings.
