Reading: 

Reading The Receptionist’s Work When a guest arrives at the Front Desk, the receptionist greets him/her and asks if he/she has made a reservation or not. For the guest with a reservation, the receptionist should confirm with him/her the reservation details, such as room type, room rate, length of stay, etc., and then give out a registration form to the guest to fill out. 2 For the walk-in guest , the check-in procedures may take a little longer time. The same questions asked by a reservationists in the reservation process must be asked by the receptionist, for example, how many nights, how many people in the party, what kind of room, etc. The receptionist should also check the guest’s requirement against the room availability in the hotel’s reservation system. After the guest decides to take a room in the hotel, the receptionist then gives out the registration form and continues the check-in procedures.

Reading: 

Reading When the guest completes the form, the receptionist must have a check and make sure that such information items as the guest’s full name, address, nationality, purpose of his/her visit and signature are entered correctly. If the visitor is a foreigner, information about his passport number, place of issue and date of issue also needs to be recorded. 4 After registration, the receptionist tells the guest his/her room number and the floor it is on, then gives the guest his/her room card and key card which were prepared while the guest was completing the registration form. The room card has the effect of being the identity card for the guest during his/her stay. Finally, the receptionist should wish the guest an enjoyable stay at the hotel.

Reading: 

Reading 5 With the formalities concluded the receptionist will inform the bellman to carry the baggage and show the guest to his/her room. And the receptionist will check all the paperwork undertaken on the guest’s arrival once again and make sure that the computer details are all correct. 6 Besides checking in guests, the receptionist is also responsible for answering any questions from the guests, helping them with any problems that they may have, answering telephones, taking messages for the guests, and handling complaints from unsatisfied guests.
