OUR HOTEL
The Met Hotel Leeds is
more than a stay, it’s a statement. We’re in the middle of a bold
transformation, turning a grand old icon into a space full of character, style,
and energy. And while we love a lie-in now and then, we know that for many of
our guests, breakfast is the main event.
We’re looking for a
Breakfast Host who brings energy, warmth, and a proper good morning.
Someone who knows that the first conversation of the day can set the tone and
who’s happy to bring the sunshine, even if the Yorkshire skies aren’t playing
ball.
If you're a morning person
with charm, confidence, and a natural gift for hosting, we want you at the
front of the house, turning morning routines into memorable moments.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A
BREAKFAST HOST AT THE MET HOTEL, LEEDS
You’re the first face our
guests see when they stumble down for coffee or bound in after an early gym
session, and how you greet them matters. Whether it’s remembering a regular’s
name or recommending the best spot by the window, your goal is simple: make
everyone feel at home.
What you’ll do:
* You’ll
be the morning spark; the first warm welcome our guests receive as they start
their day. From managing the flow of breakfast service to engaging in cheerful
morning conversation, your job is to make every guest feel relaxed, looked
after, and ready to enjoy their experience.
* Set
the tone with friendly conversation especially with regulars who love a
familiar face
* Manage
seating smoothly, balancing reservations and walk-ins to keep things flowing
* Ensure
the breakfast area is prepped and guest-ready; from table settings and
condiments to lighting, music, and general ambiance
* Keep
the buffet clean, stocked, and visually appealing throughout service
* Clear
and reset tables efficiently, maintain service stations, and ensure supplies
are consistently topped up to keep the flow of service seamless
* Respond
to guest questions, offer recommendations, and communicate dietary needs to the
kitchen clearly
* Help
with closing tasks; tidying the restaurant, restocking, and resetting for the
next day
* Keep
all guest-facing areas clean and sharp because a polished space reflects a
polished team
* And,
of course, keep the energy high even if the guests haven’t had their first
coffee yet
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
We hire mostly on
personality & potential, but you’ll shine in this role if you have:
* Confidence, friendliness, and the
ability to make anyone feel welcome
* A morning person; reliable, positive,
and switched-on from the get-go
* The ability to work efficiently, stay
organised, and think on your feet
* Previous hosting or F&B experience
is a bonus, but not essential, we’ll train you
* A love for food and hospitality, with
a good knowledge of current food trends, service standards, and menu
offerings.
* An eye for detail and a natural sense
of flow and presentation
* Flexibility to support breakfast
service Monday to Friday with occasional weekends
* A flair for style and detail, ensuring
the restaurant and service always reflect the vibrant, well-crafted
atmosphere of the hotel.
* A proactive approach, always ready to
step in and solve problems, keeping the guest experience front and centre.
* An eye for quality, making sure every
dish and drink that reaches the guest meets our high standards.
* A genuine enthusiasm for the
hospitality industry, with a passion for creating memorable, authentic
dining experiences.
WHAT WE OFFER
Why this role?
* Be a key player in the exciting
reinvention of The Met Hotel Leeds, shaping a dining experience that’s
authentic, fresh, and unforgettable.

creativity, individuality, and ambition.
