The front office of a hotel is not only its “shop window” but also its “nerve center” .The front office staff’s efficiency and personality are of great importance to guest’s vacation or business, and indeed, the hotel’s operation itself are made or ruined. The front office staff seem to “do it all” receive reservations, register guests, assign rooms, distribute baggage, store guests’ valuables, provide information, deliver mails and messages, exchange foreign currencies, check room occupancies, check guests out and so on. In order to fulfil these tasks, the staff must have a neat and smart appearance, good manners, adaptability, knowledge of languages and a head for figures. The most important of all the qualities is a real liking for people and a warm desire to help them. Besides, front desk staff should encourage and settle the guests’ plaints. That will soothe an unhappy guest and reveal the hotel’s problems so that the operation can be bettered. In short, all staff ought to remember that the hotel will enjoy greater financial success only with the greater satisfaction the guests receive from the “home away from home”.Word ListRemark 、言語Nerve Realization Operation Ruin 、毀滅Reservation Register 、注冊Assign 、指定Baggage Distribute Deliver 、遞交Occupancy 、占用Currency efficiency personality smart 、精明的appearance good manners 彬彬有禮adaptability figure settle 、安定plaint 、抱怨soothe reveal financial 、財(cái)經(jīng)的satisfaction Useful ExpressionsNot only … but also … 不僅…而且…to seen to 似乎,好像……a liking for 對……喜愛So that …以便To check SB.
