HOUSE KEEPING
HOUSEKEEPING-AN OVERVIEW

No work is menial. As far as the housekeeping is concerned it is the


backbone of the hotel. The housekeeping department is responsible for
the upkeep and maintenance of the entire hotel. One of the first
impressions, guest forms when he walks into the hotel is a reflection on
the housekeeping department – how clean, spick-n-span and well
maintained are the surroundings. No hotel can function without this
department because it oversees everything from the guest rooms, public
areas, laundry, and linen and horticulture and flower arrangement to
maintenance of housekeeping equipment, which is now becoming
increasingly high-tech.

Considered a back of the house operation earlier, the perception of


housekeeping has undergone a sea change. Now, not just managers but
staff at all levels including the housekeepers are being encouraged to
interact with guests. Since the feedback they receive is the first hand, it
simply helps the management to respond promptly to the guest
requirements. This also helps update guest history more accurately.
Increasingly more responsibilities are being delegated to the
housekeepers who are being groomed as Guest Service Agents.

House keeping is a department that essentially works with cleanliness and


hygiene of a hotel as well as all ancillary services attached to it. It is also
responsible for the aesthetic upkeep of the hotel, for the guest first casts
his vigil on the décor of the hotel. This is deciding factor as to weather
the guest likes the hotel for there is no second chance to make a first
impression. Therefore the housekeeping department place a very
important role in ensuring repeat clientele.

House keeping can be defined as the heart of the hotel. It is one of the
most important departments of the hotel. In fact no hotel can run without
the housekeeping department. It provides for a clean, comfortable and
safe environment. It has to co-ordinate with all the other departments for
the smooth functioning of the hotel. It includes all factors that lead to
comfort, cleanliness and service of the people occupying the rooms in the
hotel.

The main aim of the department is to keep the rooms appearance


appealing at all times and thereby push the room sales. Cleanliness is the
primary function of the department and the secondary function includes
the accessories that are added on to the areas like flower arrangement,
supplies etc. In hotels it takes on organized approach and a technical
understanding for the housekeeping to cope up with the volume of work.

The Housekeeping department is spread all over the hotel. It has floor
supervisors and room attendants who carry out the cleaning of the rooms.
It also has a laundry for the washing and ironing of clothes. It also has
specialized crew such as Chandelier cleaners, Carpet crew, Glass
Cleaners etc. The department also has a Housekeeping desk to monitor
and operate all its activities.

Linen room

It is one of the most important sections in the HK. All the


departments depend on the linen room to get their linen and uniforms
laundered.
Linen Room supervisor heads the linen room. The soaked linen is
collected & counted in front of House Man for the right count. The
damaged and badly stained linen is kept aside. Warning is issued to the
person responsible. The description of soiled item, soiled count, clean
linen received, balances and other remark is entered in linen exchange
slip. Clean linen is given in exchange against the number of soiled linen.

HOUSEKEEPER’S REPORT

A Housekeeper has to prepare a report known as the occupancy report in,


which the current status of the room is given . All the occupied room,
vacant room , clear room, and rooms etc is listed on this report . The
report is prepared and sent to the reception thrice in a day . The timings

INTRODUCTION

In countries throughout the world, the steady and continual


increase in size of tourist and hospitality industries continues. In order to
accommodate the world's travelers, the Hotel Industry is also
expanding to keep up with the demand.

For many people it's the look, design or location that creates the
important and lasting impression.

However, the Hotel industry is highly people oriented. It is the


effectiveness, efficiency and warmth of these people, which is what
creates the lasting impression, and it is these same people who, by their
attitude and friendliness, subconsciously attract guest back to the hotel.
Very often the first and the last place the guest comes into direct contact
with the Hotel is the Front Desk. It is the Front Office, which forms the
basic foundation for the hotel staff and guest relation in the future. Its
primary function is the sale of guest rooms available in the hotel by
following a series of preset procedures consisting mainly of reservation
followed by registration and assigning room to customers.
Front Office is termed as the powerhouse of the hotel -It plays a major
role in the operations of any Hotel. It is believed that room sale is the
most profiting mode of income for the hotel. Revenue collected from the
room sales contributes much more than any other departments consisting
more than 70 % of the total sales.
Thus we see that the primary objective of the front office is to receive the
guest, give them a warm welcome, assign them rooms keeping in mind
their taste and preferences and be a customer friendly interface between
the hotel and the guest.
This extremely important department is one of the first points of contact
the guest has with the hotel, and leaves a lasting impression on the mind
of the guest about the quality and service provided. It is therefore, crucial
for all Front Office personnel to be constantly aware of this fact and
realize that, in addition to their routine functions, they are also salesmen
for their hotel and the other hotels in the group.
The Front office is the nerve center of the hotel. It encompasses the
Reservations office, the Reception, and Information desks. For most
guests, contact with hotel is established even before they enter it –
through the reservations office – and this contact with the Front Office is
maintained right through their stay check out.

DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE FRONT OFFICE

The main areas of the Front Office at


1. Bell Desk

TYPE OF GUEST ROOMS

To cater to different needs of their customers, Hotels usually provide a


variety of accommodation products. In other words, the hotel offers
different types of guest rooms for sale, which may vary in sizes, decor or
view. In addition to this, Hotels, also supply special types of
accommodation for particular type of guests e.g. Executive floors for
business people or Suites for VIPs.

according to their décor i.e. Furniture or fittings, as well as size and
situation.

ROOM RATES :
The Room Rate to the price at which the hotel sells its room :
As the guest's needs for accommodation become more sophisticated there
is all increase in the variation of room rates.
The hotels Room Rate Tariffs may vary according to:
 Time of the %-car
 Class of business
 Services included (eg. meal plans)
The purpose of room rate varies and price discounting is to tailor the
product as closely as possible to the needs of the market.
EXAMPLE :
If a hotel caters to a high proportion of company personnel, it may offer a
special discount of 10-20 % to attract business. The hotel may also offer
a discount of 40-50 % to the company during the slack seasons i.e.
summer months in India.
A Big Hotel offers a large variety of rates for their many different guest,
These are :
a. Standard Room Rack Rate : The standard rate of the room with no
meals, discounts or reductions.

from Business and industrial corporation, who are regular guests.

the room rate and what is an extra charge.

department of the Front Office deals with the payments made by the
guests for mini bar, in house restaurants, etc.

drinks well in advance & the kitchen is also informed by the Front Office

RECEPTION

It plays an important role in the front office setup. This is the first
section where the guest comes in contact with a hotel employee. It is
located in the Front Office and it deals with functions, the main one
being checking in or alloting rooms for individuals or groups.

When the guest arrives at the hotel, he first approaches the


reception counter to give in his name if he has a reservation, If the guest
has booked a room in advance then a reservation card with all the details
are printed and kept ready.

In the case of a walk-in, the receptionist fills out the registration


card and checks the computer for vacant rooms. The receptionist checks
up with the assigned rooms report also to ensure that the room allotted is
vacant. The key card is filled up and the appropriate key is placed in the
card and handed over to the guest. For registration, everything is done on
the computer. Hence manual labor is saved on as the guests check in and
are billed directly through the computer as the entire hotel operations runs
on computer.

A group coordinator always awaits the group to check in. The


group leader is then taken to the Bell Desk/Side desk, here the group
coordinator checks with the rooming list. The group coordinator allots
the keys along with the key cards. The rooming list is also needed to
identify the guest baggage. The bellboys then carry the baggage up and
in this manner a group is checked in.

ROOMING LIST

This is like a form, which stays with the group co-coordinator. It is


needed during the time of checking in of a group.

It states all the names of the number of people in that group, in the order
they want to stay. This means that the type of room whether single,
double and triple is mentioned.

It is through this list that the rooms are allotted and the guest baggages
are identified.

CONCLUSION

When I first began my Industrial Training but went by ever


so quickly and have left me craving for much more. I would
have to say that it is an absolutely fabulous part of the
curriculum and perhaps will remain the most memorable
one.
Needless to say that this experience was a highly enriching
and educative one as I went on from one department to
another and met and got the opportunity to train under
several highly respected senior professionals. I learnt that
every individual is different and that every one has
something unique to offer. I learnt that every job has its
nuances and its value and that no job is superior to the
other. I learnt that on needs to constantly improve and
improvise. I learnt hat this is just the beginning of a long
road ahead… full of challenges. But I know that I will be
able to run along because I have my foundations firmly built
in. It is here that I got the opportunity to continuously
introspect and improve… as a budding professional and as
a human being. I will always look back at the time spent
here with fondness and with pride.
I cannot but thank all the people who have helped me in
several different ways that will go a long way in facilitating
the commencement of a wonderful journey.
