What is a restaurant open call?

A restaurant open call is a scheduled event where restaurants invite prospective employees to apply and interview for various positions, such as servers, cooks, bartenders, and hosts, all at once. Unlike traditional job applications, open calls allow candidates to meet with managers or hiring teams on a walk-in basis, often receiving on-the-spot interviews. This process helps restaurants quickly fill multiple roles, especially during busy seasons or before opening a new location. Attendees should bring a resume, dress appropriately, and be prepared to discuss their experience and availability.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive at a restaurant open call, and why are they important?

To thrive at a restaurant open call, you need a solid understanding of food service basics, customer service, and often previous experience in similar roles. Familiarity with point-of-sale (POS) systems, reservation platforms, and food safety certifications can be highly advantageous. Strong communication, teamwork, and a positive attitude are essential soft skills that help you stand out to hiring managers. These skills and qualities demonstrate your readiness to handle fast-paced environments, deliver excellent guest experiences, and contribute effectively to the restaurant team.

What should I expect when attending a restaurant open call, and how can I make a strong impression?

At a restaurant open call, candidates typically meet with managers or hiring teams in a group or one-on-one setting to discuss available roles and showcase their interpersonal skills. You may be asked to fill out an application, provide a resume, and answer questions about your experience and availability. It's common for open calls to assess your communication skills, professionalism, and enthusiasm for customer service. To make a strong impression, dress professionally, prepare to speak about your previous hospitality experience, and demonstrate a friendly, team-oriented attitude. Being punctual and showing genuine interest in the restaurant’s culture can also set you apart from other applicants.

Event TypeSingle restaurant or chain hiring eventMulti-restaurant or industry-wide event

Job description

Hogsalt is hosting an Open Call interview session for all open positions in New York City.


Hogsalt is not your typical restaurant group.  Guests know us for transportive spaces and sumptuous fare, but what we are most proud of is the generosity we extend to our teams.  Our service team reimagines hospitality with energy and a sense of fun.  Our culinary team makes classic dishes so expertly that you'll remember why they became classics.  No matter which of our 20+ restaurants you visit, you'll see we're an organization that makes people — our guests and ourselves — happy.



Stop by for an in-person interview with a member of our leadership team!  We are interviewing for all open positions.


Our Open Call is held each Tuesday from 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM at Au Cheval NYC, (33 Cortlandt Alley).  


We offer a full suite of benefits, including partially subsidized medical, dental, vision, life insurance, a 401(k) program, commuter benefits, dining discounts and rewards, and paid time off (for certain positions)!


We're looking for individuals who are committed and hard-working, who like being part of a close-knit team and also enjoy the excitement of work in a fast-paced company focused on exceptional quality and first-class guest experiences. People who thrive at Hogsalt practice generosity and hospitality toward teammates and guests while multi-tasking, prioritizing workloads, and supporting the company culture. 


At Hogsalt, hospitality begins with a workplace where everyone knows they belong.   We actively seek to increase the diversity of our teams, embracing the full array of differences in race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexuality, marital status, pregnancy status, veteran status, political affiliation, disability, genetic information, age, religion, and any of the other ways in which we define ourselves as unique individuals.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Hogsalt está organizando una Feria de Trabajo para todos los puestos abiertos en New York City.


Hogsalt no es el típico grupo de restaurante. Los huéspedes nos conocen por los espacios de transporte y la comida suntuosa, pero lo que más nos enorgullece es la generosidad que brindamos a nuestros equipos. Nuestro equipo de servicio reinventa la hospitalidad con energía y sentido de la diversión. Nuestro equipo culinario elabora platos clásicos de manera tan experta que recordará por qué se convirtieron en clásicos. No importa cuál de nuestros más de 20 restaurantes visite, verá que somos una organización que hace felices a las personas, a nuestros huéspedes ya nosotros mismos.


¡Pase a entrevistarse con un miembro de nuestro equipo de liderazgo! 


Nuestra convocatoria abierta se lleva a cabo todos los martes de 11:00 a. m. a 12:00 p. m. en Au Cheval NYC, (33 Cortlandt Alley).

 
Ofrecemos un conjunto completo de beneficios, que incluyen seguro médico, dental, oftalmológico, de vida, 401(k), beneficios de viajero, recompensas de cenar, y tiempo libre pagado!
 

Estamos buscando personas comprometidas y trabajadoras, a las que les guste ser parte de un equipo unido y que también disfruten de la emoción del trabajo en una empresa dinámica enfocada en una calidad excepcional y experiencias de primera clase para los huéspedes. Las personas que prosperan en Hogsalt practican la generosidad y la hospitalidad hacia los compañeros de equipo y los invitados mientras realizan múltiples tareas, priorizan las cargas de trabajo y apoyan la cultura de la empresa.


En Hogsalt, la hospitalidad comienza con un lugar de trabajo donde todos saben que pertenecen. Buscamos activamente aumentar la diversidad de nuestros equipos, abarcando toda la serie de diferencias en raza, etnia, origen nacional, sexo, identidad de género, expresión de género, sexualidad, estado civil, estado de embarazo, estado de veterano, afiliación política, discapacidad, genética información, edad, religión y cualquiera de las otras formas en que nos definimos como individuos únicos.
