3
From a guest point of view, what would you
consider the most important function of
the reservations department?
From the hotel manager and/or owner point
of view what is the most important
objective of the reservation process?
Processing Guest Reservations involves:
 Matching room request with room availability.
 Recording, confirming and maintaining
reservations.
 Producing management reports.
 Complete room assignments.
 Initiate guest accounting and guest history
files.
 Fulfill guest special request. All of the above
can all be done with hotel’s property
management system. page 127
TYPES OF RESERVATIONS
GUARANTEED
 Prepayment
 Credit card
 Advanced deposit
 Travel agent
 Voucher or MCO
 Corporate
NON GUARANTEED
 No form of deposit required.
 No charge for cancellation.

reservation if your hotel was sold out?

Reservations and Sales
Why is the Sales Department a primary source of reservations for the
hotel?
They focus their efforts on selling to groups
Why did many hotels alter the system for providing sales managers with
financial incentives from room nights sold to total revenue
generated?
Because by measuring total revenue, instead of room nights sold, sales
managers are encouraged to balance room nights sold with rates.
Therefore sustaining a solid rate structure for the period in question.
Why do many hotels bring the reservation manager into the sales
process?
To better collectively plan and control any future business, instead of
reacting to what ever the market provides.
What does the term “Group Allocation” refer to? Pgs 128-30
