Explain why the authority and the respect of the host have deteriorated over the years.

What will be an ideal response?


As service became more and more lax in America, the job of the host was considered an entry-level position. Restaurant owners paid the host minimum wage because the owners felt that this person did not directly produce money like a service person. Consequently, the person who was given the job was poorly trained, if trained at all. The position changed from being a job of prestige, power, and respect into one that owners felt anyone could do. What was happening was that instead of experienced service staff striving to become a host, they avoided it because it did not pay as much as their tipped position. This deterioration over the years has hurt guest service, and the industry has suffered tremendously from it.
