This is kinda interesting. I am currently studying HOUSEKEEPING here in the Philippines. It would be my immense pleasure if you could help me the things I wanna learn more. The focal point in studying HOUSEKEEPING is Room Service yet there are other things considered learning housekeeping matters such as laundry, shoe polishing and floor cleaning. Where can I find important articles or websites about the said concern? Thank you and God bless.

Dear Hotelier Tanji,
Appreciate for your continued efforts to design multi departmental hotel service courses. I have already done my specialization in F&B Management from AH&LA years back but I need to know how an order can be placed to purchase service related videos for the training purpose. I will appreciate for an urgent reply please.

Thank’s a lot……………………..
Hi,
I work on a project regarding room services to rental Villas. Do you think it would be pertinent to have 4 to 5 different menus/booklets to propose each service? For example one for F&B, one for Concierge, one for Spa, … Or would it be too much to get guests interest?
Thanks.
I believe there is no solid rules. It all depends on the establishment (its capacity, marketing plan, admin decision’s etc) you are working..
i need material on suggestive selling in room service, can u plz mail me such material……??
