Unfortunately, we can&#8217;t sit back and wait for better times to arrive. Now is the time to take action and make your hotel stand out.

Making the Right Decisions<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>Anyone working in the will know that it is easy to get overwhelmed by the number of tasks and opportunities that are always at hand. For this reason, it is highly important to <b>set priorities<\/b>. Without establishing the right set of priorities you will run the risk of overlooking more important responsibilities that can directly compromise service quality of your hospitality operations.<\/p>\n<p>My recommendation is to always start with a logical outline based on the following question:<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\" style=\"--awb-font-size:24px;\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cWhat brings the most value to your guests?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the same reasoning, you can start establishing which processes and initiatives constitute to building a great guest experience. Importantly, this can be done on a case-per-case basis that is adaptable to accommodate the wide variation in products and services inherently present in the hotel industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:3%;--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\" id=\"personalize\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:40;line-height:var(--awb-typography1-line-height);\">2. Know your Guests and Personalize<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p>Another question that hoteliers should ask themselves is \u201cdo you know what your guests want?\u201d. If not, it&#8217;s about time to get to know them a little better! Start reaping the benefits of a well built and maintained customer database.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\" style=\"--awb-font-size:24px;\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDo you know what your guests want?.

Preparation is Key: Don&#8217;t Wait Until Your Guests Arrive!<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waiting for opportunities until the guest arrives will work against your operations in many ways. Instead, it is better to take a <\/span><b>proactive stance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and start driving customer experience and revenue from the get go. The benefits are abundant, namely:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Increase the interaction time with your guests:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making the service feel more attentive and generally of a higher level;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increase exposure of your products and services to your guests. This equals more revenue opportunities;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher chance the guest will get the most out of their stay, by providing them with more inspiring plans to add to their itinerary.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Facilitate a truly worry-free vacation!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take care of the planning and decision making process. Curate a selection of various activities for different stay durations so every guest can just follow the itinerary without having to do their own research and planning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Answer pre-arrival questions:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any questions or issues can be answered before arrival, <\/span><b>alleviating some workload<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that otherwise would be carried by front office staff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of sending a welcome email (providing basic information and confirming their booking) followed by an email shortly before the guest\u00b4s arrival (directions to the hotel, parking information, things to do, products and services in the hotel incl. bookable options). This also proposes opportunities to drive traffic to your website (e.g. package pages and blog posts), which is always beneficial when it comes to SEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:3%;--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\" id=\"empower\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:40;line-height:var(--awb-typography1-line-height);\">4.

Nothing is worse than making the guest feel like their issue is being passed on and on to others. You might even be better off saying that you&#8217;re not interested in dealing with the issue in the first place&#8230; This goes back to our previous point about empowering employees to take care of any situation by themselves.

You\u00b4ll be surprised how many team members are still working in completely different directions from one another!

Having a good look at the size of your menu and choice of ingredients can have a major impact on the performance of F&amp;B operations. Smaller menus allow for faster preparation times, fresher ingredients, less risk of waste, and therefore, lower food cost. Also, don\u00b4t forget to look into including local ingredients on your menu while you&#8217;re at it, to guarantee the freshest produce and local experience is delivered to your customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housekeeping<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Riding on the wave of improved sustainability efforts in hospitality, benefits can be obtained by bringing down linen and amenity refreshments, minimizing waste and energy consumption and reducing labor and material cost.
