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
- 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
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
