TEQUILA GIRLS/ TABLE HOSTESS
A Tequila Girl/Table Hostess is a promotional hostess who serves shots of tequila, often with a flair for performance, at events and parties. Their role goes beyond simple service to create an "experience" and entertainment, which can include interacting with guests, taking photos, and being an energetic presence at receptions, corporate events, and club nights. Their duties can also overlap with traditional event hostess roles, such as greeting guests, but are often centered on the tequila service and creating a party atmosphere.
Key duties and responsibilities
- Tequila service: The primary role is to serve shots of tequila to guests at an event.
- Entertainment and experience: They are hired to be an engaging and vibrant part of the event's atmosphere, turning the act of serving a drink into a "moment of pure exhilaration".
- Guest interaction: They engage with guests in a friendly and energetic manner, often posing for photos and making the experience memorable.
- Event promotion: In some cases, they may represent a specific brand of tequila, promoting it to guests.
- Atmosphere creation: They help build a festive mood and are a key element of the event's entertainment, similar to a dancer or comedian in a different context.
- Coordination: They may coordinate with other staff, but their focus is on guest experience and the specific act of serving tequila shots in an exciting way.
How they differ from a traditional hostess
While a traditional event hostess focuses on logistical tasks like seating guests, managing waitlists, and ensuring the dining area is orderly, a Tequila Girl's role is more performance-based and focused on a specific type of interactive entertainment.
- Traditional hostess: Focuses on organizational tasks like managing reservations, seating guests, and answering phones.
- Tequila Girl: Focuses on performance, guest interaction, and creating a high-energy, festive atmosphere centered around serving tequila.
