    About Sauna House

    At Sauna House, we've reimagined the ancient traditions of the thermal cycle for the modern world. We create intentional experiences that promote recovery, relaxation, and well-being through heat, cold, rest, and therapeutic massage — welcoming everyone from seasoned practitioners to those just beginning their wellness journey. We believe exceptional guest experiences begin with exceptional people, which is why we invest in our team through coaching, collaboration, and real opportunities for growth.

    Mission — To improve the mental and physical well-being of the world, one guest at a time.

    Values — Belonging, Joy, Honesty, Stewardship, Presence

    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.
