Hospitality Department

	Stewards
	Tristan (Current)

The Hospitality Department is responsible for smooth relations onboard Snowpiercer.

History

When Snowpiercer departed, Melanie Cavill was the head of Hospitality. After being overthrown in Season 1, she is replaced by Ruth Wardell, who is then fired by Wilford and the role is given to Kevin McMahon until his death.

There are also many apprentice hospitality members, which Kevin was originally, before being promoted on Big Alice.

The Head of Hospitality uniform is either a higher-cut teal jacket with a matching skirt for women, or a full teal suit for men. Lower rank hospitality members wear either a low-cut teal jacket with matching pants for women or a gray suit with teal striped tie for men.

In this time of adversity, I ask you, the lead stewards of humanity, to remain unshaken in spirit and resolve, as you’ve done so nobly these past seven years. By your steady hand, we will ride out this hardship, and outlive the ice. Bound by our cause and our need. Wilford.	”

“	Good evening, passengers. As you well know, I'm not one for speeches, but we've been through a bumpy patch. So I want to say this to you. If the track has taught me anything, it's that even the steepest climbs give way to descent. I'll keep doing what I do best. I will keep our Engine Eternal. And you keep doing what you do best... Survive, survive, survive.	”

We’re all haunted by our choices, the personal choices we all made when we boarded this train, and the collective choices that brought us to that day. Choices made over decades, even when we knew climate change was real. And finally, my own choice to pirate this ark, and lie to you all, which has brought us to where we are now, May we all move forward with greater awareness, of the choices that we make. We are one train. And today, that train chooses change. I hereby relinquish governance of Snowpiercer to the rebel forces. These are our revolutions, 994 cars long.	”

{{Quote|Citizens of Snowpiercer. It took us seven long years to cast off Wilford’s class system. And now, the man is back and latched onto the Tail. We know he’s willing to stop us cold, but Brakemen and the rebel army have control of the new border. Ruth Wardell and Hospitality will lead diplomatic initiatives. Snowpiercer will use all means necessary to defend the liberties we’ve won. But… with everything we have sacrificed, it is my great regret. And my reluctant duty, to put our democratic experiment on hold, and to extend martial law until further notice.|Andre Layton through the P.A. system after Big Alice detached to Snowpiercer.]]

	— Zarah Ferami's first and last time on the P.A. system

“	Good evening, Snowpiercer. Earlier today, high above us, another of our weather balloons made contact with Engineer Cavill, out there on her own, a lone spark lighting the way forward. On this train, none of us are strangers to despair, so we should celebrate these victories when they come. We must hold fast to our mission, our vision and ourselves. So… as we prepare to turn around and return to her, let us all say a prayer for Engineer Cavill, and our dreams of a life one day… beyond Snowpiercer.	”
	— Ruth lying through the P.A. system

Episode 7: Our Answer for Everything.

“	Citizens of Snowpiercer, today we are all in mourning for our Breachmen. We are afraid because there are those among us who want us to be. This violence was orchestrated to divide us, to compromise us, by taking out our best. We can’t start turning on each other. That is exactly what they want to happen. Whoever did this terrible crime, wants you to believe that it was the weakest among us. But the real enemy is back there on Big Alice, lying in wait. Some of your neighbors supports his return, but we cast away Wilford Law once already. And I will remind you of the call that unites us. We are one train. Snowpiercer.	”

	— Bennett Knox through the P.A. system from The Engine.

“	Snowpiercer, this is Head Engineer Wilford. Enough of this nonsense. Hold fast now. Engineers and Tunnelmen, if you’re on your marks, wait for my command to restart the engine manually.	”
	— Wilford through the P.A. system, giving signal for Tunnelmen to fix Snowpiercer.

“	Snowpiercer, restart systems now	”
