Summary, etc. "The front office is one of the most important departments in the hotel industry. It is also known as the nerve center of the hotel. It is usually located in the lobby area. This department can easily be spotted by guests, patrons, and visitors alike since it has big windows overlooking the main entrance. The front office is responsible for many of the administrative tasks that keep the hotel functioning properly. They are responsible for check-ins and check-outs, room assignments, reservations, billing, and more. They are also responsible for customer service, ensuring that quests and patrons have a pleasant experience at the hotel. In addition, the front office team ensures that the hotel is running smoothly and efficiently, providing a welcoming and hospitable experience to all its guests. The front office staff are usually the first point of contact for guests<br/>and staff, so they need to be knowledgeable and friendly. They need to be able to handle a variety of tasks, from customer service to administrative tasks, and they need to be able to do it all in a timely and efficient manner. They also need to be able to effectively communicate with other departments in the hotel, such as housekeeping and maintenance, in order to ensure that everything runs smoothly.<br/>A front office manager's role is to oversee the front desk staff. Furthermore, they are responsible for ensuring that every guest receives a high standard of service. Front office managers will prepare schedules so that there is always a staff member available at the front desk. Occasionally, they will be tasked with hiring and training new employees. This book is comprised of eight chapters. Starting from structure of front office department, the book proceeds with accommodation concept, hotel reservation activities, managing human resource, and safety and security. Finally, the book covers the checkout and settlement procedures.<br/>The book presents a systematic approach to front office procedures by detailing the flow of business through a hotel, from the reservations process to check-out and account settlement.
