Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Catering reaches beyond hotel guests: Catering by Design takes off-site events across Greater Concord.
- Banquet entry requires no diploma: Grappone's server role asks for one month's related hospitality experience or training.
- Hotel travel perks extend beyond work: Comfort Inn's room-attendant role includes discounted stays.
What critics are saying
- Off-site work needs driving credentials: DoubleTree's banquet captain requires a valid New Hampshire license and favorable driving record.
- Weekend work is scheduled: Tru's full-time maintenance associate works Tuesday through Saturday.
- Hotel geography is concentrated: all five properties on Duprey's hotel portfolio page are in Concord.
