Tips for the Hospitality Industry

The Hotel Industry is a fast-paced, high-pressure environment that takes a whole network of workers and departments to keep everything running smoothly. Serving a variety of purposes, hotels have the opportunity to provide customers with a great, memorable experience or be a dark spot on an otherwise great trip.

Hotel managers have the task of ensuring customers are satisfied and overseeing all of the different activities and departments of a hotel.

Here are few Tips for Managing a Hotel:

Build and lead a great team: As a hotel manager, you are only as good as the team around you. That is why forming and fostering a great team is of utmost importance. This means you need to hire people with the right skills, attitude and character that will help your team achieve your goals.

Always learning and improving: Hotel managers are often a jack-of-all-trades because their position forces them to be. If you do not have attitude to learn and innovate, you need to work developing that as quickly as possible. Developing a keen eye to stop problems and areas of weakness will greatly allow your hotel to continue improving and ensure your ability to offer a satisfactory customer experience.

Greet your guests:   Be present to those staying in your hotel and take every opportunity you have to give your guests the impression that you are on their side, ready to ensure a great experience.Greet them at the door as they arrive and leave, welcome them as they arrive and thank them on their way out.

Be Prepared for Emergencies: Guests expect their hotel choice to provide excellent safety and security but even the best security measures may not prevent an emergency from occurring. With the possibility of hundreds or even thousands of people staying in your hotel, it is important that you have a clear plan for emergencies. 

Have the right equipment: Hotels need to have the right hotel supplies to be able to maintain their business and daily activities. It is important to have a hotel management software systems, transportation for airport shuttles, the right lecterns and podiums in your conference room, and the right public address systems within the hotel. Daily comforts such as clean towels, bed made, a clean room, toiletries and trash removed must be maintained on daily basis and in a timely fashion.

Have fun: As a manager, it may seem like you have a never ending list of things to do. Enjoy your guests, enjoy your staff, and enjoy your work.
