If the buffet breakfast is one of your favourite parts of a holiday, then we may have just found your dream job.
A ‘Chief Buffet Officer’ role exists where you get to stay in hotels around the world for free, and all you need to do is review the breakfast options when you wake up in the morning.
Basically, you’re getting to stay in hotels and fill up on food, and all for free.
Hotels.com has teamed up with Made in Chelsea’s Sam Thompson to recruit for the new role in 2021, which will include getting to enjoy 10 hotel nights’ stays worth £5,000.
Oh, and you’ll also get extra perks such as being upgraded to Gold status on the Hotels.com Rewards program so you can get free breakfast and room upgrades at select hotels.
What’s your go-to food choice at the breakfast buffet? Let us know in the comments below.
There’s no need to be a food critic if you want to apply. Instead, head to the job application here and simply say what three skills you think you’ll bring to the table, and why you think you’d be perfect for the role.
You’ll need to apply by 11.59pm on September 8, when the applications close.
The new job role has been created following Hotels.com research which unveiled that 76% of Brits can’t wait to hit the breakfast buffet once Covid restrictions have fully eased.
Currently a number of hotels still haven’t reopened their buffets, instead sticking to table service or ‘grab and go’ options.

Yet the research showed that Brits can’t wait for the buffets to returned. In fact, 15% admitted they would be prepared to give up sex if it meant they could head to the buffet, while 11% said they would give up a week’s salary.
Emma Tagg, Head of Global & EMEA Brand Communications at Hotels.com Brand said of the new role: “Hotel breakfast buffets are back and we know the nation can’t wait to flock to the pancake stacks and conveyor belt toasters!
