Breakfast Attendant

Breakfast AttendantStart the Day Right — Be the Heart of Breakfast in Downtown Nashville

Good mornings are a Nashville specialty.

Before the first guitar string is ever plucked on Broadway, before the sun clears the Capitol dome, the real magic of this city begins at breakfast — and you’re the one who helps make it happen.

At Hampton Inn & Suites Nashville Downtown – Capitol View, our guests include families exploring Music City, business travelers preparing for a full day downtown, and visitors here to experience everything Nashville has to offer.

What they all have in common is simple: their day starts with us.

We’re looking for a Breakfast Attendant who brings warmth, energy, attention to detail, and a genuine desire to create a great guest experience from the moment the coffee starts pouring.

As our Breakfast Attendant, you will be responsible for preparing, maintaining, and closing the breakfast area while providing friendly and attentive service to our guests.

You will:

• Prepare and set up the breakfast area before service each morning.

• Ensure all breakfast items are fresh, properly presented, and available when guests arrive.

• Restock food, beverages, coffee, condiments, utensils, and supplies throughout the breakfast period.

• Monitor the buffet continuously to maintain cleanliness, presentation, and product availability.

• Welcome guests and provide friendly, attentive service throughout breakfast.

• Answer questions about breakfast offerings and assist guests with special requests when possible.

• Maintain coffee and beverage stations and ensure they remain stocked and clean.

• Monitor food temperatures and follow established food safety and sanitation procedures.
