We hope these guidelines will help you all to be good and true hoteliers. Those who missed first 2 part of this series must check these out-

Courtesy Among Colleagues:

  • While communicating with your colleagues, do not point your finger towards any guest. Use cover numbers to inform who has ordered for what.
  • Do not use abusive language with your colleagues.
  • Speak politely while ordering food, calling for pick up etc.
  • Be aware of your conversation over the phone. Guests may be watching or hearing you.

>>>Never shout into the telephone.
>>>Do not have long conversations over the phone, while a guest is waiting.
>>>Do not entertain personal calls while at work.

  • When a guest requires assistance, do so regardless of whether it is your job.
  • Discussions between employees should not occur in front of the guest and must be minimum during service hours.
  • Do not congregate in clusters or groups (3 is a crowd).
  • Do not use vernacular language. Only communicate in English as that is the internationally accepted language.
  • Communicate with team members to provide excellent service.
  • Do not make colleagues a victim if your mood swings or bad attitude. This is easily visible to the guest.
  • Do not embarrass any of your colleagues by putting them down or addressing rudely in front of the guest, as this is intolerable.
  • Use standard polite phrases while addressing your colleagues also.
  • Never shout at your colleagues in the restaurant or the back area.
