Demonstrated adaptability and leadership, ensuring seamless operations across various roles, from Receptionist to Housekeeper, contributing to efficient, high-quality service delivery.
Greeted incoming visitors and customers professionally and provided friendly, knowledgeable assistance.
Having worked at the hotel during the change between Opera to Opera Cloud showed a greater understanding of how to provide the same quality of service towards guests during difficult times. Another example of that would be during time periods, where the system would completely shut down forcing us to manually check people in and out through spreadsheets and utilising paper reports.
Using my proficient knowledge of Opera Cloud to seamlessly check people in, out or generally assisting our in-house guest. Investigating charges, providing easy to understand answers to guests in relation to charges applied internally.
Being trained in Night Audit allowed me to understand the business side of working in hotels. Having to charge back to companies ie; Expedia, Corporate Travellers or Luxury Escape/Ingite bookings. Doing credit card reconciliation before rolling the system, checking the hotels negative reports to ensure everything has been filled out correctly and flagging with the Night Manager any that weren't correct. Going through reservations due to check out in order to make the day teams shift is more faultless.
Answered phones promptly and directed incoming calls to correct offices. Creating reservations over the phone unitising Resaweb, checking for memberships and providing the best rate possible for our guests.
