What your day will look like?

As a F&B Host, you will be one of the first points of contact for our guests, creating a warm, welcoming and memorable experience from the moment they arrive. You will ensure that guests are welcomed and seated efficiently and that reservations are managed effectively to maximise occupancy and revenue. You will work closely with the restaurant team and Managers to ensure excellent communication and service at all times, keeping the team informed of daily priorities, VIP arrivals and any guest requirements. You will confidently handle guest feedback and resolve issues in a professional and positive manner, always looking for ways to exceed expectations. You will have a strong knowledge of our menu, hotel facilities and local area, using this knowledge to make recommendations and identify opportunities to upsell and maximise revenue. You will also lead by example and promote a positive, can-do attitude. Above all, you will help create a welcoming environment where both our guests and team feel valued.

What You’ll Bring?

The ideal candidate is warm, welcoming, and genuinely enjoys making people feel at ease. With excellent communication skills and a natural ability to stay calm under pressure, you’re the first friendly face our guests see and make that first impression count. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, have a keen eye for detail, and take pride in providing seamless, attentive service from the moment someone walks through the door. Experience within a similar environment is preferable; however, we look for attitude, commitment and interpersonal skills rather than experience as we will give you the tools to ensure you are successful in your role.
