Who's Hiring

- Customer-facing experience in hotels, restaurants, or event venues strongly preferred
- Proven ability to manage guest relations and resolve service issues on the spot
- Familiarity with property management systems such as Opera or Maestro
- Food handler certification or Tennessee ABC server permit for food and beverage roles

Hospitality Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a hospitality professional in Tennessee?
Most hospitality roles in Tennessee require a combination of relevant work experience and, for food and beverage positions, a valid Tennessee food handler card or alcohol server permit issued through the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Degree programs in hospitality management are available at institutions like the University of Tennessee and Tennessee State University, though many employers also hire candidates with a strong service background and relevant on-the-job training.
Which companies hire hospitality professionals in Tennessee?
Tennessee hospitality roles are posted by LAZ Parking, RH, and Truce and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Tennessee's tourism-driven economy means large hotel groups, resort operators, and food service companies maintain consistent hiring pipelines throughout the year.
Which Tennessee cities have the most hospitality jobs?
Nashville, Memphis, and Brentwood lead Tennessee in hospitality openings. Nashville drives volume through its convention center, entertainment district, and major hotel brands, while Memphis draws demand from its music tourism and riverfront hospitality scene, and Gatlinburg anchors resort and attractions hiring in the Smoky Mountain corridor.
Are there remote hospitality jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're rare. Most hospitality work is hands-on and location-dependent, so fully remote roles are the exception rather than the rule. About 0% of hospitality openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions tend to be in corporate functions like revenue management, marketing, or regional sales rather than property-level operations.
How can I get hired as a hospitality professional in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for front desk agent, guest services associate, or food and beverage server roles at large Tennessee hotel and resort properties, which regularly hire candidates without prior hospitality experience and train on the job. Gaylord Opryland, Dollywood, and major Nashville hotel groups run structured onboarding programs for new hires. Earning a Tennessee food handler card or ABC server permit before applying gives candidates a clear edge and removes a common barrier to being considered.
Where can I find and apply to hospitality jobs in Tennessee?
You can find and apply to hospitality jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and location, then apply directly to the employers posting them.
