Minor and major problems have occurred during this reporting period. At the end of each shift, I am responsible for closing out my computer and printing out my paperwork for the day. After printing out the paperwork, documentation was shown that I did not recall doing under my keys. This is a common problem for working at the front desk. Another front desk employee was working under my keys and mistakenly forgot to complete the additional documentation needed for the submissions she made on my computer. The issue was that a guest needed a movie charge taken off. Whenever this happens, an allowance sheet must be filled out explaining the reasoning for the charge being taken off. I was not allowed to leave until I searched within the history records to find out who initialed under my keys. The individual was shockingly a manager. My way of resolving this issue from reoccurring is to log on and off of every time I step away from the computer. Regardless of whether I step in the back office or go on my lunch break. That will prevent instances such as a simple movie charge to prevent me from leaving work. A more major problem that everyone is guilty of at some point is not collecting a method of payment at check in. This is vital to obtain from all guests. If I do not collect a method of payment then I have to immediately put a stop charge on the room. This then disables a guest from making a purchase from anywhere inside the hotel. My process of resolving this issue is to make
One of the hotel policies for Premier Inn is that the guests must check out of their room before 11am and checking in is at 2pm. That gives housekeeping time to clean and prepare the rooms for the following guests. However it is also hotel policy to never turn a guest away no matter what time they leave or arrive. So the procedure is that if the guest arrives too early we first check in to see if there are any clean and ready that they can be checked into. If there are then the guest can be asked to complete the relevant forms and settle the payment then go to the prepared room. If the room is not ready then the guest will be invited to complete their paper work and then wait in the food court next door and then the receptionist will call them when a room is ready. It is important to follow the procedures because that is how a business upholds its standards. Failure to follow the procedures might lead to different levels of service that will cause confusion to the guests and staff alike. Dissatisfied guests are a result of differences between the ‘styles’ of service provided by various members of the same team in a company.
and manners. A person could be upset before you walk in and you come in and greet the guest.
John Becker believes in enfranchisement. He believes in going beyond and above our means to all guests and that each guest manages equally.

In an attempt to rectify the situation, I will contact the manager and inform him of the lack of compliance.
This is an example of poor management and lack of commitment to properly train their employees or interns. This is a result of an increase in the check in process, which will deter customers from returning.
A doorman can please the customer with a smile and a few words of welcome, but one surly waiter can kill the effect. Or if we keep an executive waiting in his suite in his underwear for his only suit to come back from a one-hour pressing, we could lose a lifetime customer worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. No hotel, however splendid, looks good to someone whose day it has ruined. For example, lodging manager usually work long and irregular hours including weekends, evenings and most public holidays, usually works indoors, and from an
2. Train every staff member who handles the cash, how to use the register correctly.
The local hotel leadership could also be a weakness. Though they excel at promoting their own properties they have shown reluctance to corporate branding and would likely oppose an implementation of such.
Secondary issues include an inability to recognize return, VIP and “special event” guests; a lack of technological amenities for clientele; and a dearth of congruity between retail space technology and the technology of the lodging properties. Of course, all of these issues are key factors in allowing for future growth.
