receptionist
Lobby staff member
A receptionist is a person employed to greet visitors, answer phones, and handle administrative tasks at the entrance or front desk of an office, hotel, or other establishment.
The role serves as the first point of contact: The receptionist asked me to sign in and take a seat.
Reception desks appear in medical offices, corporate lobbies, salons, and anywhere visitors need directing.
