About the Role
Leydi is a modern Turkish restaurant bringing the all-day food culture of Istanbul to London, serving expertly-prepared mangal meat & fish, heritage grain wood-fired breads, low intervention wines, and offering a sophisticated and fun ambience. Located within Hyde London City, a luxurious seven-storey, 111-room property at 15 Old Bailey, Leydi offers a vibrant dining experience where guests enjoy punchy cocktails, magnums of wine, and an East meets West soundtrack in a bustling, lively atmosphere.

As a Host, you will be the welcoming face that sets the tone for our guests’ dining experience. You will greet guests, manage reservations, and ensure a smooth flow of service throughout the restaurant. Your role includes handling guest inquiries, assisting with requests, taking reservations over the phone, managing cash and card payments, and occasionally supporting the team on the floor. You will anticipate guest needs and proactively provide solutions to exceed their expectations, helping create memorable experiences in a dynamic and supportive environment.

Experience
Previous experience in a busy Front of House role is essential. You genuinely care about making people feel welcome and looked after.

About you
You are intuitive and attentive, knowing what guests want even before they do. You seek a workplace where individuality is valued—no clones in suits here. You are passionate about creating memorable experiences for both guests and colleagues. You leave egos at the door, are flexible, and willing to try new approaches. You want to be part of a hardworking, supportive team that enjoys what they do.

Qualifications
No formal qualifications are required, but a positive attitude, excellent communication skills, and a passion for hospitality are essential.
