Fair hostesses from Frankfurt

As a service hostess, you are mainly responsible for providing guests and customers with drinks and food, which ideally you also prepare yourself. The subsequent tasks such as preparing the buffet or clearing the tables also belong to the activities of a service or catering hostess.

Service hostesses often already have experience in the hospitality industry, but newcomers are also welcome. As with all hostesses, it is important to have a well-groomed and personable appearance and to be flexible. As with other hostess jobs, you are usually employed on a short-term basis.

Info counter hostesses, also called reception hostesses, are the contact persons for customers and guests at trade fairs and events. They are in charge and are usually available to answer guests' questions. Reception hostesses are especially important for the first impression of a trade fair or event because they welcome the guests and ensure a good first impression. Sometimes it also becomes their job to guide the guests to certain places and locations of the companies at the fair. Friendliness and willingness to help is therefore an important part of the job and knowledge of foreign languages is also definitely an advantage in order to be successfully placed as a reception hostess Frankfurt.

In our world it is becoming more and more important to be able to communicate internationally, so a very good knowledge of English is almost a basic requirement for hostesses. Without a knowledge of English, you have much less chance of getting a job in the event staff sector. It is very much appreciated that hostesses also have good knowledge in other areas. For example, foreign language hostesses who speak Russian, French or Polish are very popular. The more you can offer here, the more companies will be interested in you, as they naturally want to present themselves to the international market. However, foreign language hostesses are not only used at trade fairs. Interpreters are often called in at hospitals to treat foreign patients in order to facilitate exchange and communication. It is not uncommon for city councils to request them as well.

Sympathetic and experienced – VIP hostesses welcome guests at trade fairs, congresses or other events. Such well-known guests, who are personally looked after, can be company bosses, politicians or even celebrities. In most cases, VIP hostesses are only assigned to this one person. Therefore, they take on several tasks at once. This means that they can take on the tasks of a service hostess at the same time by making sure that the guests are provided with food and drinks. If a guest comes from out of town, foreign language skills are of course also desirable. VIP hostesses often also take over the organisation of the arrival and departure of the special guest, so that he or she lacks nothing and does not have to worry about such organisational problems. Of course, an open and friendly manner of the hostess or host is of great importance and a prerequisite for a successful cooperation.

The position of a chief hostess is extremely popular among hostesses and is considered the pinnacle of a career in the industry. However, chief hostesses also have a lot of responsibility as they are the link between the client and the hostess team. As the name suggests, they take on the leadership position in the hostess team and are the contact person for the organiser if, for example, there are spontaneous changes. Chief hostesses often instruct the other hostesses in the procedure and tasks and settle problems if complications or disagreements should arise. They are supposed to motivate the entire team and give feedback to the companies afterwards. In addition, the head hostesses note down all the times of the other hostesses and submit the timesheets for billing at the end of the day. Since there is a lot to manage in a hostess job, it is important to be able to work under pressure and be flexible in terms of time. It is also important to be able to communicate and express yourself well.
