Hotel development: Staff training

Developing a great hotel goes beyond the structure itself. Developing a great hotel also entails training the people responsible for its operation – mainly the hotel staff. Here are some of the most important points hotel staff should be well-versed in once their hotel opens.

Relating to guests 

One very important detail hotel staff should be trained to know at all times are the names of the guests. This little touch can go a long, long way. But of course, it shouldn’t stop there. Hotel staff should take the time to know what activities guests prefer, so as to recommend or suggest places and things to do. When guests feel at home and comfortable, the more likely they’ll come back. 

Response to complaints 

The response time between the reception of the complaint of a guest and the action the hotel staff takes should be as short as humanly possible. And not only does the response need to be immediate and decisive, but it also has to be discreet and private. The manner by which hotel staff takes care of customer issues is a huge factor in whether or not the guest comes back. And really, when it comes to business, that’s the biggest concern – having customers return.

A Day In The Life Of a Developer

A real estate developer is one busybody. No they are not busy like regular employee busy. A developer can be likened more to a business owner. Real estate developers do a myriad of related activities in a day.

Like many people primed for success, developers start their day early. They ready themselves mentally and physically for the demands of the day to come. The morning is made up of sections wherein they check the news, either online, on television, or in the papers. Developers are mostly interested in bits of info regarding real estate in their community because odds are these projects can affect their own.

The developer then leaves home to go the project construction site. There they consult with the foreman, and investors, if any are visiting. They touch base, talking about problems and solutions. They also go over the finances if anything new was added.

There are some days when developers head out to city hall to talk to the right people for permits and taxes. They also interact with building inspectors and are updated by new rules and codes.

After all this, developers spend a lot of time researching the community on either possible locations for new projects, or things that could affect their current development.
