Hosts and hostesses are continually communicating with others. They communicate with customers when they greet them, answer questions and give them updated wait times. Some hosts even take drink orders. Hosts also communicate with servers, discussing seating needs and details such as party size.
Pay Differences\n\n Elite servers in a five-star restaurant often have a higher earning potential than hostesses. Hostesses may make a higher salary in upscale eateries where they must set the stage for the guest experience, as explained on the How to Be a Good Server website.
