Table text

Before leaving your post after a shift the receptionist needs to do


handover. A handover is when staff from the finishing shift tell staff on the
next shift about:

• Things that have happened during the shift


• Request guest have made that need to be acted on.
The receptionist should record important information in the reception diary.
This is sometimes known as the communications diary. The Reception Diary
is very important, especially for informing staff who have been on their
rostered days off, as they are able to come on shift and familiarise
themselves with all the establishment activities, notes, difficulties and
problems that have occurred during their days off.Some hotels have an
electronic diary on the computer but at other hotels it might be paper based.

At the start of a new shift a checklist comes in handy, these are the task in
the checklist:

1.Complete handover with previous shift.


2. Check reception diary and occupancy of the hotel.
3. Count and record your cash float.
4. Check office equipment is working.
5. Check stationery supplies.
6. Check emails and other messages.
7. Check reception area if it is tidy and attractive.
8. Prepare guest paperwork for the days arrival and departures.

Receptionists have to use different kinds of office equipment such as:

10
 computer is an electronic device for storing and processing data,
typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a
variable program.
 printer is a machine for printing text or pictures onto paper, especially
one linked to a computer
 fax machine is a machine for transmitting and receiving faxes.
 photocopier is a machine for making photocopies.
 key card programmer
 cash register is a machine used in places of business for regulating
money transactions with customers. It typically has a compartmental
drawer for cash, and it totals, displays, and records the amount of
each sale.
 EFTPOS machine-It stands for Electronic Funds Transfer at Point Of
Sale. EFTPOS is used as a method of payment for goods and services.
An EFTPOS terminal (also referred to as an EFTPOS machine) is an
electronic device that assists in the transfer of funds from a customers
bank account to a merchant (business) bank account.
 telephone is the electrical system of communication that you use to
talk directly to someone else in a different place. You use the
telephone by dialling a number on a piece of equipment and speaking
into it.

At the start of each shift, you should:

 check each piece of equipment is turned on or working


 check there is paper in the printer
 check the toner – print a short document to make sure it is clear and
dark enough to be easily read
 report any flashing lights or ‘error’ messages to your supervisor.

How will reception ensure that the guest's experience starts off
satisfactorily.

The staff of the hotel can achieve this by displaying good personal
skills, good verbal and non verbal communications and ensuring that a
welcoming smile is always part of the service.

4 Principles of Good Service

• Prompt Attention - even if you are busy, you must recognize when
the guest is trying to get your attention. You have to tactfully advice
him that you will be attending them as soon as possible.

Attitude – you must go out of your way to take care of a guest's


needs. This may even involve performing tasks outside your area of
responsibility.

15

• Streamlined procedures – we cannot have a rule or procedure that
applies to every guest. Common sense must prevail and every staff
should be flexible in his approach.If a guest is standing in front of the
desk while the clerk cannor find his registration and you find a room
that does not expect to be sold-out, go ahead and room him. Research
the matter later, but make sure you handle the guest as quickly and
efficiently as possible.

• Extended services – do not leave the guest unattended after


performing your specific function. Make sure you have provided bell
service or have explained to him the hotel services and ocation of
various facilities. Try to anticioate guest's needs.

Departure Activities:

This is the final stage of the cycle of services and involves;


• Organizing the guest’s departure
• Processing guest’s departure, including account settlement
• Offering additional departure services
• Seeking guest feedback
• Updating the room status

The purpose of the guest's departure procedure:


• Settlement of the guest's account(s).
• Obtain guest's feedback.
• Room status up-date.
• Create or update the guest's history profile.

Review departure lists


• The review of departure lists enables us to:
 Plan for the numbers of departing guests
 Check who we should be seeking additional information about
 Checking names of the guests departing ( so we can greet them
by names)
 Organizing ourselves for group departures

16

Check - out procedure

The efficiency of the front clerk is tested in the check-out procedures


used when the guest leaves the hotel. The impression on the type of service
rendered to a guest ends with the experience one has within the area. The
following are the basic steps when checking-out a guest:

Guest call the front office informing the desk clerk of his intetntion to
check- out.
• Bellman has been informed of the guest's check -out.
• Bellman goes to the guestroom to assist guest with his luggage.
• As the guest approaches the front desk, clerk greets the guest.
• Determine guest name and verify that the name corresponds to room
number.
• Secure registration card (and guest folio) from the"pit".
• Recover key(s) from the guest.
• The desk clerk calls the restaurant for meal chits and housekeeping to
check the room for mini- bar consumptions, if there are any, proper
charges are immediately relayed to the front office for posting.
• Determine whether or not the guest had a pleasant stay.
• If the guest did not have a pleasant stay, apologize for any minor
complaints and log them immediately or call a manager make
necessary adjustments.
• Total the folio and present it to the guest with a pen for verification
and signature.
• If guest disputes charges, make a deduction if authorized or else call a
manager to investigate further.
• After the receipt of the approved folio, make sure that it has been
signed.
• Determine settlement method.
• Settle the account using the correct procedures and close the folio.
• Present completed folio and possible vouchers folded ( or envelope) to
the guest for their personal life.
• Issue departure/ clearance slip.
• Assist guest cleaning safety box if availed of.
• Determine and note any further reservation. Offer assistance if guests
wants to make reservation in the future.
