Position Summary
The Guest Service Coordinator is the first and last point of contact for every guest — delivering an exceptional hospitality experience, maintaining an inviting and well-presented bathhouse, and supporting the daily operation of the business. You’ll create memorable experiences, build lasting relationships, grow memberships, and protect the Sauna House brand through every interaction.
Key Responsibilities
Guest Experience & Hospitality
Create a warm, attentive experience at every touchpoint — greeting guests at check-in and anticipating their needs throughout the visit
Resolve guest concerns with empathy, professionalism, and urgency, looking for opportunities to exceed expectations
Educate guests on Sauna House offerings, massage services, memberships, retail, and events to enhance their wellness journey
Maintain a visible, welcoming presence throughout the bathhouse and build relationships that inspire repeat visits
Sales & Membership Growth
Promote memberships, packages, massage services, and retail by confidently educating guests on the value of Sauna House offerings
Recommend memberships, services, and products based on each guest’s individual needs and wellness goals
Support promotional campaigns, local marketing, and special events that drive brand awareness and guest engagement
Contribute to individual and location sales goals through hospitality, product knowledge, and personalized recommendations
Daily Operations
Check guests in and out accurately while creating a welcoming, efficient arrival and departure experience
Manage reservations, scheduling, and guest communications; respond promptly to inbound inquiries
Process payments correctly, maintain accurate guest records, and protect guest information with professionalism and confidentiality
Complete opening, mid-shift, and closing procedures; restock inventory and guest amenities to support uninterrupted operations
Safety & Facility Standards
Maintain an “opening day” clean, organized, and fully stocked environment across all guest-facing spaces
Follow all safety, health, and guest protocols; proactively identify and immediately report hazards or operational issues to leadership
Monitor sauna and cold pool functionality and communicate maintenance needs promptly
Teamwork & Communication
Communicate openly, respectfully, and professionally with teammates and leadership
Support fellow team members during busy periods and assist in multiple areas of the business with a team-first mindset
Participate in team meetings and training; share guest feedback and ideas that improve the guest experience and operational efficiency
What We're Looking For
A natural host — you treat the bathhouse like your own home and every guest like a personal invitee
You notice the small things: the guest who looks lost, the fingerprint on the glass, the chance to make someone’s day better — and you act without being asked
Authentic enthusiasm for the thermal cycle and the Sauna House ritual
Ownership mindset with a hospitality-first mentality — humble, adaptable, and confident
Strong emotional intelligence, communication skills, attention to detail, and time management
Preferred: experience in hospitality, food and beverage, or wellness; familiarity with contrast therapy; comfort promoting memberships or retail; experience with reservation, scheduling, or point-of-sale systems
How Success Is Measured
The Guest Service Coordinator is accountable for two primary outcomes: Top-Line Revenue and Guest Experience — supported by metrics including membership conversions and renewals, retail sales, guest satisfaction and Google review mentions, reservation accuracy, attendance and punctuality, training completion, and guest and brand standards scores.
