A hotel starts with a reception desk and this puts a special responsibility on the members of the staff - the receptionists.
This isn’t just about the receptionists who are the first representatives of a hotel staff that the guests meet when they arrive at the place. They are charged with the task to register and check-in the guests. At the reception desk a manager or a receptionist has to reserve hotel rooms, get payments and prepare different reports. The duties and responsibilities of a receptionist include:
- meeting the guests and checking-in;
- filling in the registration forms of the guests;
- providing keys to the hotel rooms;
- resolving a number of issues for the clients (taxi calling service, consultancy, room-service Restaurant and Bar, calling a repairman etc.);
- checking out;
- printout of the invoice relating to the stay;
- taking a payment for staying at a hotel and other additional services.
