stores & distributes information of a hotel, resort, or other
lodging facilities
Introduction
Reservations are the most reliable revenue stream for many hotels, and they affect
everything from cash flow projections to staffing. Ensuring that guests get the
accommodations when they expect them is the easiest way for a hotel to reduce
complaints and increase guest satisfaction.

Reservation details may include, but are not limited to special requests, timing
details, special needs, payment arrangements, details of other services being used,
information on a style of customer, e,g: special interest group, VIP status etc.

The most important outcome of the reservation process is having a guest room
ready and waiting when the guest arrives.

RECEIVE
RESERVATION
REQUEST
The process of making a reservation is to be able to know whether or not you are able
to accommodate the guest with what they require. Therefore we need to ask the right
questions and respond to the reservation request

When greeting a customer over the phone your establishment will have specific
greeting they will prefer you to use. This greeting must be sound friendly and
approachable, be polite and let them know where they have been put through to. It is
also advisable to give your name to the potential customer.
Examples of greetings are:

Shifting Session Greetings


1st shift (Morning Session) “Good morning, Reservations, this is
Marifel speaking, how may I help
you?”
2nd shift (Afternoon Session) after 12 “Good afternoon, Reservations, this is
noon Marifel speaking, how may I help
you?”
3rd shift (Evening Session) after 6pm “Reservation, Good evening, this is
Marifel speaking, how may I help
you?”

might be received by telephone,

and rates, but many clients are

bedding or rates.
Check-in
Reservation Details
The information needed to process a reservation will vary depending on the type of being made.

For example, you will need to find out the following information from the potential customer if they are making
a booking for accommodation:
● Required dates/length of stay
● The number required
● Number of guests
● Name of guest/s
● Number of rooms
● Required type/s of room

Ask questions and match the guest’s needs to what is available.


Everytime you will be checking these requests against what you have available.
Obtain personal details, contact data and method of payment - if reservation/room is available.
Repeat back the reservation details for confirmation with the customer to check that everything is correct and
accurate.
Example of Identifying the Reservation Details:
The following gives an example of handling a reservation for car hire:
Sales Agent: “Good morning reservations. This is Thommy. How can I help you”
Guest: “I would like to make an inquiry about hiring/renting a car”
Sales Agent: “Certainly. What dates do you require a car?”
Guest: “From 17th of August to 20th of August”
Sales Agent: “Is that for 3 days hire and returning the car on the 20th?” (required dates/length of
use)
Guest: “Yes”
Sales Agent: “What size of car will you need. How many people will use it?” (number required)
Guest: “There are two of us”
Sales Agent: “Would one of our small cars with two doors be suitable?” (required type)
Guest: “Yes that would be fine but we have a lot of luggage.”
Sales Agent: “I will give you one of our hatchback models as this has a very large space for
luggage.” (meeting the guest needs)
Guest: “That sounds perfect”.
Sales Agent: “Now if I could get your personal details, contact number or email, license details
and method of payment please”.
Confirmation of the Reservation
Repeat back all the details to guest to make sure you have all the information you need and that it is correct.

An example of confirmation:

Sales Agent: “Just to confirm your reservations, Nr. Wiseman. We have you picking up the car on
Tuesday 17th August at 10:00 o’clock and returning it on Friday 20th at 10:00 o’clock. You have requested
the Audi A1 at a cost of $120.00 per day including insurance. Your license number is 0123456789 and your
address is 56 Stanley Street, Queenstown New Zealand. Your contact number is 0415-562-356 and you are
paying by Visa card number 4569-2365-2365, expiry date 03 2020. Is that all correct?”
Guest: “Yes, thanks Thommy that is great, you have been very helpful”
Sales Agent: “Thanks Mr. Wiseman, we look forward seeing you on Tuesday”

The sales agent used a suitable closing phrase, thanked the customer, used his name, and provided
personal service. This is essential to make sure the customer is satisfied and that you have offered
professional service.
Availability of Requested Bookings
Your reservation system should allow you to instantly check availability and know what you have to
sell. You will need to know what is available right down to the type or hotel rooms, type and model of
cars you have, number of tours that are available, have spaces to sell and even number of special
dishes left. This is what enables you to “sell” your goods and services to the customer. Without
knowing your availability you don’t know what you have to sell and can’t meet the customer’s needs.

Special Conditions
Minimum length of stay or hire, payment policies, minimum number of guests. License requirements.

Discounting and Premium Rates


During the busy times of the season there is no need to offer discounts as the customers wants to
reserve your goods and services and are often willing to make reservations in advance and pay
premium rates rates to ensure they get their reservations during peak period/
When a reservation cannot be made:

Desired features not available No wait list or waitlist is full

Special conditions are suitable Allotment is full (such as a package rate or groups
and tour bookings, airline packages)

Doesn;t want to be added to a wait list Already overbooked for the requested date

Overbooking: Overbooking is common practice in hotels when they accept more reservations for
rooms than they have rooms available.

A hotel may overbook between 5-20% (based on the organization's historical figures) in order to allow
no-shows and under stay. A;though, this might seem strange practice, the hotel needs to do this to
maximize the number of rooms sold on any given day.
Offer Alternatives if requested Booking is
Unavailable
If the requested reservation cannot be accommodated due to unsuitable dates or the
product is not available you can:

● Offer an alternative date


● Apply selling techniques to sell a better or different room and/or another
product type
● Off to add the customer waitlist
● Suggest another establishment within your group or in the area, similar to
yours.
● Overbook - in accordance with house policies/limits.

Simply don’t assume you can’t help the customer if their original request cannot be
accommodated.
