• He/she should be pampered like anything.
• Show them the hospitality which we have.
• Remember people who come into the hotel are the best MARKETING for our firm.
• They will help in mouth to mouth communication.
Make sure you get the deal
• As the Front Office incharge; you should make sure that you get the rooms; as many as possible.
• Be very careful that every guest is very important; everyone.
REMEMBER 1 THING YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT
CONNECTING LINK BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND THE TEAM
OF WOODAPPLE; YOU’RE EFFICIENCY AND POLITENESS AND BEHAVIOUR WILL EFFECT
THE IMAGE OF ‘THE WOODAPPLE FAMILY’.
Be a salesman
• Another very important task of the front office team is to be the salesman when the GM is not present. Be confident and finalise the deals.
Call the GM and let him talk to the
customer.
Be confident and take the guest on
the tour of the hotel and the file of
happy customers.
Take the contact details of the guest
and assure them that you’ll manage
everything. Intimate the GM about the customer and his contact details.
Remember 1 thing: For The Woodapple Family every
customer is important..! Each and Every.. As Director of the family I would not like even a
single customer to be dissatisfied. And it’s the duty of the front office to take care of the Quality and reputation of
the Woodapple family..!
Phone Conversations
Pick up the phone as soon as possible
Good(time) Welcome to Woodapple..! How may I
help you..!
Smile on the phone also.. It’s a research which says that front desk officials
who smile on phone getmore happy customers.
Whatever is the query or service the guest wants should be done
immediately.
Thanks you for calling mam.. And have a good day..! And
wait for the guest to keep the phone before you hang up.
FRONT
OFFICE
Guest room tariff
Party advances and pax costs
Corporate sales
1. Your job is to take care of the financial strength of the family. 2. The cash inflow; the cash outflow; the purchases; the kitchen
expenses all go through a process involving you as a delta. 3. Take care that there is no financial irregularity; there is no
unscrupulous activity regarding money discrepancy. 4. Have a look on the purchases and ask for the receipts and be on
a vigil that everyone including you is handling the currency with an honest motive.
5. Any one suspcious should be immediately be communicated to me.
6. Regarding the guest rooms; always try to take the Advance before hand.
7. And never ever be careless about money; eg. If an extra bed is put; do not forget it; don’t mishandle the minibar bills. Be very careful. Our organization is dependent on money for the survival of the woodapple family and its expansion.
Complaint and dissatisfied customer management
Remember that a dissatisfied customer will eventually cool down if you are having empathy to him/her
Understand his/her problem and judge it by keeping yourself in his/her shoes. Even if the customer is wrong ; remember HE’S OUR GOD..!
Act swiftly and don’t worry; don’t panic just do the DAMAGE CONTROL as fast as possible; eg. Change to the suite if that’s empty; give a complementary drink..etc
OUR AIM
Communication Process
I SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY INFORMED ABOUT A DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER..!
ANYONE WHO FAILS TO THAT WILL NOT BE A PART OF THE FAMILY..!
DON’T PANIC; WE ALL ARE HUMANS AND WE WILL MAKE MISTAKES..! BUT ACCEPTANCE OF THE MISTAKE AND BEING CAREFUL IS THE BEST WAY TO BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF AND THE WOODAPPLE FAMILY..!
