CHAPTER – 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE:

1.1.1 HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY GETS TECHNICALLY FIT:

The hospitality industry in India is increasingly taking the help of technology to

not only cut costs but also lure customers. Today, guests in most five star hotels

can access the Internet through their laptops at the poolside or in conference

rooms, with equal ease, thanks to wireless LAN (WLAN). Innovations like these

that seem like technological marvels today will be commonplace tomorrow, as

almost all leading hospitality chains will provide wireless connectivity.

1.1.2 GOING BACK:

In days gone by it was said that in order to succeed, all a hotel needed was a

scenic location and good cuisine. But in today’s competitive environment, a

mistake as trivial as not taking down a customer’s order can prove disastrous. As

the hospitality industry started looking for ways to improve efficiencies, efforts

and investments in the field of information technology intensified. One of the first

deployments of IT began at the front desk when receptionists began checking the

name of the customer and then allotted a room to him. Big hotels also started

putting in place accounting systems and back office software to improve

processes. As hotel chains started expanding their operations across the

country, it was necessary to monitor their assets.

Page 13: A Study on the Effectiveness of Existing Performance Appraisal System in Cag Pride, Coimbatore

1.1.3) DEVELOPMENT IN I.T IN HOTEL INDUSTRY:

Today, the IT initiatives of hotel chains in India have matured, and are being

increasingly fine-tuned to serve the needs of the customer. Says Pradeep

Khetwal, systems manager, Le Royal Meridien (Mumbai), Most hospitality chains

now realize that technology in the hospitality industry is critical to improve the

operational efficiency of a hotel. The industry has moved from the traditional

transaction-based processes such as check-in and reservations to features that

are built and designed specifically for the customer. Services like providing

wireless Internet access to guests will CRM.

While IT initiatives like centralized management and automating daily operations

are important, the key part of retaining a customer is critical to the hospitality

industry, which explains why every chain is taking the help of technology to

improve efficiency. Take a look at Le Royal Meridien. The hotel has deployed a

check-in system on each floor depending on the guest’s profile.

1.1.4) CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT:

CRM is also being adopted in a big way by almost all the big hotel chains in

India. At present, every major hotel chain in India is investing in comprehensive

systems that store complete profiles of their customers. The moment a guest

checks in, he fills a form indicating his various preferences. If he is a regular

client, the hotel immediately knows of his preferences and serves him

accordingly. Most hotels today offer a customer different schemes based on his

profile. In the traditional method, this was done manually with no clear

understanding of a customer’s preferences. But now, with knowledge of the

customer’s history, a hotel can service a customer more efficiently.

Page 14: A Study on the Effectiveness of Existing Performance Appraisal System in Cag Pride, Coimbatore

1.1.5) ON LINE RESERVATION SYSTEM:

In the dot-com phase, hotels were attracted to the Web and were expecting

major revenues to come from online reservations. But just like other industries,

hotels too have been disappointed. Today, websites of most hotels serve only as

information outlets, and almost no booking take place through the Web. One

obvious reason is security, which makes customers reluctant to reveal their credit

card details on the Web. Says Shailesh Bhagwat EDP executive of Orchid,

“Proper security systems are a must to avoid fraud in non face-to-face

transactions.

1.1.6) OUTLOOK:

With busy season for the hotel industry approaching in the second half of the

year, overall ARR and occupancy rates of the industry would increase. In some

cities like Bangalore and Hyderabad, ARR and occupancy rates would remain

higher than industry average, as demand supply scenario is favoring the hotels.

As the busy season for the hotel industry commences in the second half of year,

the companies’ revenues and profitability are set to increase. Almost 65-70% of

total revenues and 70-80% of the profits of hotel industry come in second half of

year. Mid-cap stocks like Hotel Leelaventures and TAJGVK Hotels would

outperform the industry in top line and bottom line growth as they have properties

in right locations.

1.2.7) BAN GALORE HOTEL INDUSTRY IS ON A HIGH:

The hotel industry in Bangalore is witnessing an all-time high. While the business

has been on an upswing for the past two years, industry sources say, that this

year too has started on a great note. Most categories of hotels are expecting

90% and above occupancies till March. CNBC-TV18 reports on why it is so

Page 15: A Study on the Effectiveness of Existing Performance Appraisal System in Cag Pride, Coimbatore

difficult to get a room in Bangalore these days. Bang lore’s hotels are going

chock-a-block these days. What began as a boom two years ago, has now

turned into full-fledged growth for the entire industry, leading to almost 19 new

hotels being built in the city. But analysts say even this will not quell the demand

for the burgeoning visitor population into the city. This is reflected in last year's

spike in occupancies continuing this year also, despite an additional hotel being

available now. In Bangalore, 60% of the visitors coming to the hotels are from the

business category. However, currently, events like the visit of an international

pastor Benny Hinn and the upcoming international Aero show, combined with

musician Sting's visit in February is spiking occupancy rates. Bangalore recorded

an average of 79% hotel occupancy last year - the highest in the country. This

demand has predictably led to an increase in revenues.

1.3 REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

1.3.1 PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:

Performance appraisal, personnel rating, merit rating or performance evaluation

is one of the most important functions of personnel management. People differ in

their abilities and aptitudes. The personnel management should know these

differences to develop various development programmes in the organization to

have an efficient work force. Merit-rating technique has been evolved to know the

relative worth of the employee – quantitatively and qualitatively – on the job, in

comparison to other fellow workers. Merit rating is used for measuring the merit

or performance of an employee and comparing it with that of others in the same

group.

1.3.2 OBJECTIVE:

“The overall objective of performance appraisal is to improve the efficiency of an

enterprise by attempting to mobilize the best possible efforts from individuals

employed in it. Such appraisal achieves four objectives including the salary

reviews, the development and training of individuals, planning job rotation and

assistance promotions”.

THE LITERATURE REVIEW GIVEN BELOW IS WITH REFERENCE TO

HOTEL “SURYAINTERNATIONAL”, COIMBATORE.

In Hotel Surya International Performance Appraisal, is done once in six months

once. Performance Appraisal is conducted for all the employees by their

respective head of the department. After conducting the appraisal, the

performance is ranked with the standard performance system.

Page 20: A Study on the Effectiveness of Existing Performance Appraisal System in Cag Pride, Coimbatore

20

If the high-ranking employee is from the lower cader, then the employee is given

promotion or free holiday tickets to the family or free uniforms or food is provided

when they are in duty or salary is increased. If the employee is from poor family

then the fund is provided for their children for basic education.

If the performance of the employees is not good, then the industry will try to find

out problems and it will pay more attention to those employees and the company

will train them and give motivation for those employees whose performance is

not good.

More over the employees are considered as their family members and the

employees have the chance to have open interaction with the top management.

This project results in performance appraisal was noted in the year July 2000.

The results were analyzed by using simple percentage method.

As far as CAG Pride is concern, there is no such research work is been carried

out. This is the first time the research work is been carried out by me since the

company is in state of dilemma. And the management was in the position to

know whether the existing performance appraisal system is effective or not. And

they want the employees to suggest some of the ways and means to improve the

existing performance appraisal system.
