How to greet & intoduce with guests

December 16, 2009

hotel-greeting-guestHotel is such a place where every now and then you have to meet with guests. So you have to know some basic rules for greetings and introducing. Here are some Expressions of greetings you could use when you meet with your guests with possible answers which your guest may response or vice versa.

For Meeting

Formal Semi Formal Informal
  • Good Morning > Good Morning
  • Good Afternoon > Good Afternoon
  • Good Evening > Good Evening
  • Hello > Hello
  • How are you? > Fine, Thanks . And you?
  • How is life? > Nice/Nothing Special
  • Hi > Hi
  • What’s up > As always
  • What’s new > Nothing
  • Long time no see > Yeah

Note: Uses of these expressions  depend on when an with whom you are using. Like you cannot say good evening, in the morning! Again, with a new guest you should not say “Long time no see” or may be even “What’s up”. Also in hotel, you should use only formal expressions, but only in limited cases and with repeated gust you may use semi-formal or even informal expressions. It will depend on situation and relation with the guest.So, you should think before using any expression.

For Leaving

Formal Semi Formal Informal
  • Good-bye > Good Bye
  • Good day > Good day
  • Bye > Bye
  • Good night > Good night
  • Bye-bye > Bye-bye
  • See you (tomorrow) >  See you, bye
  • Take care > Take care

Note: After greeting and talking when you like to leave the guest, right at that moment these sorts of expressions are used .Again consider the timing and manner type before using these expressions.

Dear Tanji,

I was responsible for Guest Service Manager and I have to conduct training for hotel staff. I found out that topics are useful and I was trying to copy it but it was failed.
If possible, I would like to have your guidance to have those topics for my training program.
With Warmest Regards, Louis
