INTRODUCTION
Front office department is the nerve center of the hotel, and is responsible for the sale of
rooms in a systematic way, according to the procedures laid down by the management. Thus, the
role of front office is to reserve/register rooms and provides information to the guest during their
stay.
The front office plays a crucial role and leaves a lasting impression on the minds of the
guest. The impression a guest carries right from the way a reservation is confirmed to him goes a
long way in creating a lasting impression. Front office is involved in providing basic comforts
and looking in to any problem that may arise during the course of stay. It handles different
situations, incidents, complaints and disputes.

INTERACTION BETWEEN GUEST AND THE HOTEL:
During the hotel stay, a guest may require certain services from and engage in various
transactions with the hotel. One or the other section of the hotel front office mostly handles
these. Following is the example of interaction of the guest and the hotel at different stages of his
stay:

INTER DEPARTMENTAL CO-ORDINATION
HOUSE KEEPING :
The co-ordination between these two departments is of very great importance for the running of
the. hotel. The reason is that the House Keeping does the up keeping & the cleaning up of the
rooms & the Front office does the selling up of the room or we can say that one prepares & the
other sells it. House Keeping sends the occupancy report twice daily. . Meanwhile the details-
of the rooms are fed into the computer by the House Keeping department.
Front Office immediately gets the report on their screen. Arrival of any VIP guest is informed to
the -House Keeping well in advance to keep all the VIP amenities in the room, one hour before
the guest checks in the room. The room verification report helps in preparing the room
discrepancy report also.
FOOD & BEVERAGE SERVICE :
The co-ordination between these two departments is necessary to give the maximum comfort to
the guest. Front Office has to inform the Room Service well in advance if there are any special
food items to be kept for any. VIP checks ins, for e.g. chocolates, complimentary fruit basket,
wine etc. The service & the clearance of the welcome drink for any VIP group check in is done
by the Room Service staff only. The cash department of the Front Office deals with the
payments made by the guests for mini bar, in house restaurants, etc.
FOOD & BEVERAGE PRODUCTION :
Front Office informs the kitchen for the preparation of the welcome drinks well in advance & the
kitchen is also informed by the Front Office through the Room Service for any special cake that
the guest has asked for.
I.S.D. (COMPUTER CENTRE) :
The Computer Centre has to give the Front Office all the support in the efficient running of the
computer systems as the entire hotel is attached to one network. If the Front Office faces
problem in any of the running terminals then the I.S.D. rectifies it.
ENGINEERING :
All the guest complaints are given to the concierge which at once informs the engineering
departments & it is looked after promptly.
RECEPTION
It plays an important role in the front office setup. This is the first section where the guest
comes in contact with a hotel employee. It is located in the Front Office and it deals with
functions, the main one being checking in or alloting rooms for individuals or groups.
When the guest arrives at the hotel, he first approaches the reception counter to give in
his name if he has a reservation, If the guest has booked a room in advance then a reservation
card with all the details are printed and kept ready.
In the case of a walk-in, the receptionist fills out the registration card and checks the
computer for vacant rooms. The receptionist checks up with the assigned rooms report also to
ensure that the room allotted is vacant. The key card is filled up and the appropriate key is
placed in the card and handed over to the guest. For registration, everything is done on the
computer. Hence manual labor is saved on as the guests check in and are billed directly through
the computer as the entire hotel operations runs on computer.
A group coordinator always awaits the group to check in. The group leader is then taken
to the Bell Desk/Side desk, here the group coordinator checks with the rooming list. The group
coordinator allots the keys along with the key cards. The rooming list is also needed to identify
the guest baggage. The bellboys then carry the baggage up and in this manner a group is
checked in.
ROOMING LIST
This is like a form, which stays with the group co-coordinator. It is needed during the time of
checking in of a group.
It states all the names of the number of people in that group, in the order they want to stay. This
means that the type of room whether single, double and triple is mentioned.
It is through this list that the rooms are allotted and the guest baggages are identified.

receipt of written instruction.
Once the decision to attend the decision to extend credit to a particular company is taken, an
account is opened for the company on the computer system. All the companies, who have the
credit facility with the hotel listed in the computer with a particular company code with referred
to as ”AS-ID”.
As the building instructions are received the same should be updated on the guests folio. Till the
time instructions are received from the company in writing by way of fax or telex all the guests
remain on direct payment. Reservations department should keep all the billing letters received I a
traced file. Entries should be made I the register with the details of guests/company.
At times billing instructions are given by the regional sales offices to send the bills to the
company.billing instructions are fed on the system and a note should be made in the billings
columns given the references of the regional sales office. Some companies have given standings
instructions for their guests regarding their billing.
In all such cases, a standing instruction letter should be approved & received by the finance
department & a note should be made in the guest history for those guests. Most travel agents
dealing with hotels are offered special rates by the hotels, which are contracted, with the
different travel agencies. Since, these rates are comparatively lower than the printed rack rates,
the travel agents expect that the rates contracted by them with the hotel are kept confidential.
Travel agents normally, offer a package daily to guests which includes airlines ticketing,
transportation, sight seeing, and hotel accommodations and they do not want their clients to have
the break-up of these service items wise costs.
The hotels computer system provides for such confidently of rates.
While packing up the corporate ID & the rate code, reservation staff should also ensure to pick
up the TA-ID. This should always done at the time of creating a reservations or at least while up
dating the billing instructions on the system.
Once the above steps are followed, when the receptions staff prints the PRE REG cards, the rates
column of the PRE REG card would be blank & hence would ensure confidentiality.

displayed on it, if the filling mask has been correctly update

    INTER DEPARTMENTAL CO-ORDINATION HOUSEKEEPING : The co-ordination between these two departments is of very great importance for the running of the. hotel. The reason is that the House Keeping does the up keeping & the cleaning up of the rooms & the Front office does the selling up of the room or we can say that one prepares & the other sells it. House Keeping sends the occupancy report twice daily. . Meanwhile the details- of the rooms are fed into the computer by the House Keeping department. Front Office immediately gets the report on their screen. Arrival of any VIP guest is informed to the -House Keeping well in advance to keep all the VIP amenities in the room, one hour before the guest checks in the room. The room verification report helps in preparing the room discrepancy report also. FOOD & BEVERAGE SERVICE : The co-ordination between these two departments is necessary to give the maximum comfort to the guest. Front Office has to inform the Room Service well in advance if there are any special food items to be kept for any. VIP checks ins, for e.g. chocolates, complimentary fruit basket, wine etc. The service & the clearance of the welcome drink for any VIP group check in is done by the Room Service staff only. The cash department of the Front Office deals with the payments made by the guests for mini bar, in house restaurants, etc. FOOD & BEVERAGE PRODUCTION : Front Office informs the kitchen for the preparation of the welcome drinks well in advance & the kitchen is also informed by the Front Office through the Room Service for any special cake that the guest has asked for. I.S.D. (COMPUTER CENTRE) :
  • 25.
    The Computer Centrehas to give the Front Office all the support in the efficient running of the computer systems as the entire hotel is attached to one network. If the Front Office faces problem in any of the running terminals then the I.S.D. rectifies it. ENGINEERING : All the guest complaints are given to the concierge which at once informs the engineering departments & it is looked after promptly. RECEPTION It plays an important role in the front office setup. This is the first section where the guest comes in contact with a hotel employee. It is located in the Front Office and it deals with functions, the main one being checking in or alloting rooms for individuals or groups. When the guest arrives at the hotel, he first approaches the reception counter to give in his name if he has a reservation, If the guest has booked a room in advance then a reservation card with all the details are printed and kept ready. In the case of a walk-in, the receptionist fills out the registration card and checks the computer for vacant rooms. The receptionist checks up with the assigned rooms report also to ensure that the room allotted is vacant. The key card is filled up and the appropriate key is placed in the card and handed over to the guest. For registration, everything is done on the computer. Hence manual labor is saved on as the guests check in and are billed directly through the computer as the entire hotel operations runs on computer. A group coordinator always awaits the group to check in. The group leader is then taken to the Bell Desk/Side desk, here the group coordinator checks with the rooming list. The group coordinator allots the keys along with the key cards. The rooming list is also needed to identify the guest baggage. The bellboys then carry the baggage up and in this manner a group is checked in. ROOMING LIST This is like a form, which stays with the group co-coordinator. It is needed during the time of checking in of a group. It states all the names of the number of people in that group, in the order they want to stay. This means that the type of room whether single, double and triple is mentioned.
