THE FRONT OFFICE
INTRODUCTION
The manager’s Remarks
The aim of a hotel is to create a home away from home for all the travelling guests who need rest,
food and drink.
The front office of a hotel is not only its “shop window” but also its “nerve center” .The front
office staff’s efficiency and personality are of great importance to guest’s vacation or business, and
indeed, the hotel’s operation itself are made or ruined.
The
front
office
staff
seem
to
“do
it
all”
-
receive
reservations,
register
guests,
assign
rooms,
distribute
baggage,
store
guests’
valuables,
provide
information,
deliver
mails
and
messages,
exchange foreign currencies, check room occupancies, check guests out and so on.
In
order
to
fulfil
these tasks,
the
staff
must
have
a
neat
and
smart
appearance,
good
manners,
adaptability, knowledge of languages and a head for figures. The most important of all the qualities is
a real liking for people and a warm desire to help them.
Besides, front desk staff should encourage a
nd settle the guests’ complaints. That will soothe an
unhappy guest and reveal the hotel’s problems so that the operation can be bettered.
In short, all staff ought to remember that the hotel will enjoy greater financial success only with
the greater s
atisfaction the guests receive from the “home away from home”.

the main attractions in Shanghai. They are often visited by foreign guests.
Mrs. Bellow (M): And why are those places so popular?
R: Because they are of typical Chinese national style. The Yu Yuan Garden is not only the pearl of
Shanghai, but also called the “No.1 Vista in East China”. You can see beautiful pavilions, terraces,
rockeries, ponds, as well as buildings decorated with fine brick designs and wood carvings.
B: Good, I’ll take some p
ictures. Then, how about the temple?
R: The Jade Buddha Temple is one of the most famous temples in China. There are two white jade
statues of Sakyamuni brought from Burma more than a hundred years ago.
M: Oh, great! We’ll have a good chance to feast our eyes.
R: What’s more, the construction of the Grand Hall is magnificent.
B: I think I’ll enjoy the architecture of the temple, too.

Friendship Store? I can’t find the exact spot on the map.
R: Yes, of course. Our hotel is located on Ming Y

Friendship Store is within easy reach. You can take No.27 Trolley Bus and get off at Sichuan

say foreigners are offered the best service there, at the Friendship Store.
M: Then, why not take a taxi, my dear.
B: All right,
let’s
go.
(To the Receptionist)
Could you order a taxi cab for us?
R: Yes, I’d be glad to.
(Calls a taxi by phone)
The car is expected to come within five minutes, sir.
By the way, the Friendship Store is near the Huangpu River and if you could afford time, do walk
along the Bund an

B: That sounds like a very good idea.
R: And there’s the Old Men’s Jazz Band at the Peace Hotel Cafe.
It’s well

much appreciated by foreign guests. If you are interested in that, you might go there and have a cup
of coffee.

THE HOUSEKEEPING
DEPARTMENT’
INTRODUCTION
The Manager’s Remarks
The housekeeping department is the backbone of a hotel. In a sense, it is possible to say that a
clean and attractive guest room is the product that the hotel sells.
The main duty of the housekeeping department staff is to see to the cleanliness and good order of
all rooms in the hotel. The laundry and valet service and many personal services are also parts of their
jobs. And they must coordinate the work closely with the front office.
This department as a whole is required to make the guest’s stays comfortable and pleasing. Any
reasonable request must be fulfilled. But good service means more than fulfilling requests. Whenever
and wherever possible, the staff should offer to do extra things for the guests. What is more, whenever
there is an opportunity to “sell”, the staff should take
it and suggest that guests use the hotel services
as much as possible. They should make sure that they are really selling what the guest wants to buy.
It
should
be
noted
that
the
most
important
characteristic
in
the
housekeeping
department,
and
indeed throughout the hotel world, is the willingness to serve and please the guests. The housekeeping
staff, such as chamber maids, housemen, linenroom attendants, supervisors and housekeepers, can do
a great deal to assure a high business repeat and occupancy rate, not only through the efficiency in
their jobs but also through their heartfelt warmth in serving the guests.

M: Really. Could you do our room first next time? We always seem to be last.
RA: Well, I have a section of fourteen rooms, and I always do the check-out rooms first unless there is
a request.
(B): Check-out rooms? What are they? Do you mean that the people who go out early get
their rooms done first? If that is so, we were out at 7:30 this morning.
RA: A check-out room means where the guests are leaving the hotel at the end of their stay. We have
to get the room ready for sale by the front office.
B: Well, we would like to take a nap after lunch.
RA: Yes, I see. Your room will be ready in half an hour, Mrs. Bellow.
M: Can you do this for us every day?
RA: Certainly, Mrs. Bellow. We always try to have rooms made up early on request. Just let us know
what you need, and if we can, we’ll oblige. Your room number is 902 now?
B: How nice of you to remember our name and room number!
