This may include replenishing silverware, sugar caddies and condiments, light to moderate food preparation, refilling beverage containers, mopping, wiping and sweeping. If the hotel breakfast is full service, the attendant may perform duties similar to those of a restaurant waiter or busboy such as attending to special food orders or needs of the guests, clearing dirty plates from tables, relaying customer needs to the kitchen and providing or refilling drinks.

Attendants are also tasked with acting as representatives of the hotel or corporation they are employed by, and are therefore required to provide a welcoming and hospitable atmosphere to guests.

Other duties may be assigned by management or detailed in the advertisement for the position.

Skill Requirements

Aside from the ability to perform all the duties delegated to the breakfast attendant, the attendant must possess good communication skills for keeping customers informed of breakfast offerings and hotel information. As the position calls for working in a fast-paced, customer-oriented environment, the attendant should be courteous, efficient and friendly. Attendants must have a strong capability to multitask, be able to stand for long periods of time, lift up to 25 lbs. and work with cleaning chemicals.

Education

Breakfast attendants are usually required to have a high school diploma or the equivalent. A valid food handler's permit is also recommended and occasionally required, depending on management and the extent of contact or preparation necessary.
