Courtesy Call Process
The guest relation executives are to ensure that they give courtesy calls to all guests in house
with the exception of groups and conference guests during the course of the day.
Also to call the long staying guests on Sunday.
Reason
This is done to make the guests feel cared for and also if they require any assistance, the same
can be done for them.
This is also done to follow up on departure details, billing instruction and guest feedback.
Procedure
1. The GRE prints the in-house guest list and personally calls the guests in the room preferably
between 0900 to 1200 hrs and then from 1800-2100 hrs
2. Before making the calls the GRE is to check the previous day’s list, to check on guests already
called upon and guests having made a complaint or a request for assistance. This is done so that
not more than one courtesy call is given to a guest during his stay. (For longstayers we call once
a week)
Also if a guest has made a complaint/ requested for assistance a follow up can be done with the
guest
3. Check with the duty manager if any follow up is required with guests regarding departure
details, billing instructions, etc
4. A standard phrase has to be used such as “good morning, Mr./ Ms.__________ this
is __________ (the GRE’s name). I am the guest relation executive of the hotel.
I am calling, to check if there is anything I could do to make your stay more comfortable?
If the guest tells you something, please record the same & action it.
If the guest says No or Nothing, please say
‘In case you require any assistance do contact us at the Guest relations and we do the needful.
Thank you very much. Have a wonderful stay ahead.”
5. In case a guest is unavailable, a voice mail message should be left on his phone, along with the
extension number for him to call back on/ or a GR card sent to the room.
6. Once the guest’s feedback is received the same is communicated to the hotel management
7. In case of immediate action to be taken, a detailed hand over is to be given to a fellow duty
manager/ guest relation executive to follow up and complete the job.
This again should be notified in the log book for check at a later date
8. The courtesy call report is to be given to the FOM with guest’s remarks on a daily basis
9. Standardized phrases for checking on:
-Billing instructions: Mr./Ms_______________ we wanted to reconfirm the mode of settlement
of your bills at the hotel
