Hostess/Host - Sui Mui

Marriott International is hiring a Hostess/Host for Sui Mui in Dubai. This is a full-time, onsite position at a Marriott property that focuses on creating memorable guest experiences. If you enjoy warmly welcoming guests, guiding them to seats, and coordinating with kitchen and service teams to keep things running smoothly, this could be a good match.

In this role the focus is on hospitality that goes beyond simply taking orders. You’ll help set up dining spaces, communicate with the kitchen, and interact with guests to ensure their time in the restaurant feels thoughtful and well coordinated. A professional appearance, adherence to safety standards, and following company policies are part of what makes the guest experience feel seamless.

It’s a solid fit for someone starting out in hospitality who likes working with people, staying active during shifts, and taking a practical, hands-on approach to daily tasks.

What your day-to-day would look like

On shift you’ll greet guests as they arrive, assist with seating, and help manage the flow of people through the dining area. You’ll prepare tables, reset them between parties, and collaborate with servers and the kitchen to confirm order details while keeping the dining floor orderly. You’ll read the menu to verify information as needed and assist with small service tasks to keep guests cared for throughout their visit. Maintaining a clean, stocked station and responding to guest requests with friendliness are part of your routine, and you’ll move around the dining space to uphold safety and a polished environment.

The role also involves a lot of hands-on activity, setting up and clearing spaces, organizing supplies, and ensuring that service areas stay tidy. You’ll be on your feet for extended periods, and you may need to reach, bend, and maneuver to support hosts, servers, and kitchen staff during busy times.

What you’ll need to bring to the table

Here’s how Marriott breaks down the requirements, with the must-haves and the nice-to-haves reworded for clarity.

• A high school diploma or GED equivalent
• Less than 1 year of related, guest-facing experience

• No supervisory experience required
• No licenses or certifications needed

In addition to these points, the role calls for a professional personal appearance, the ability to read and visually verify menu information, and the willingness to stay active on the dining floor, including some lifting and movement as part of daily duties.

Pay, benefits and practical details

This is a full-time, onsite opportunity at a Marriott property in Dubai. The job expects you to be on your feet and moving around for extended periods, with the potential to navigate varied surfaces. You’ll handle tasks that may require lifting light loads up to 25 pounds without assistance and up to 50 pounds with assistance, and you’ll reach overhead and below the knees, twist, and stoop as part of guest service duties. Maintaining a professional uniform and appearance in line with policy is part of the role, along with following safety and service procedures to protect guests and the team.

Advice for applicants

Lead with your guest-facing experience. On your résumé, open with any hostess, waiter, or front-desk roles you’ve held, and describe how you welcomed guests, assisted with seating, and supported service teams to keep dining smooth.

Show how you prove the must-haves. Highlight your education (the high school diploma or GED) and any relevant, short-term hospitality or customer-service work. If you’ve read menus for accuracy or helped manage seating logistics, call that out clearly.

Prepare for interviews with concrete stories. Have examples ready of times you stayed calm during busy service periods, how you handled guest requests, or how you coordinated with kitchen staff to ensure orders were accurate and timely.

Ask a sharp question. Inquire about the team structure on the dining floor, how training is delivered, or how success is measured for someone in this guest-facing host role at Sui Mui.
