The primary responsibility of the front desk staff is to attend to the reservation and occupancy needs of the guest. The front desk is usually the first and last contact that the overnight guest has with property staff. For this reason, excellent customer service is the number one priority. Duties include but are not limited to checking hotel guests in and out of hotel rooms; taking reservations in person, by email or by phone; handling money; signing in and out property keys, pagers, and phones; assisting with guest requests; answering and directing phone calls; informing guests of property and area attractions; and most importantly, insuring the satisfaction of all of our guests. Since the front desk is seen as the central point of the property, the position requires keeping abreast of all events on property, being a receptionist for all departments, and knowledge of emergency procedures. This position requires mental agility and the ability to effectively multi-task in a fast paced and deadline-oriented environment. A Front Desk employee must also have the ability to work well independently and as a member of a team.
