include it in the welcome pack of your employees so that they have a clear idea of who reports
to whom.
Next week you will be opened, but before that your FOM needs to hand in a detailed list of all
the tasks that your receptionists will be doing per shift. Please write down this list for your
FOM and create a checklist per shift for your Front Desk personnel.
Your FOM has handed in the occupancy forecast for the next 2 weeks and has asked for help
to arrange the schedules for the first two weeks of operations. Your Front office department
counts with a FOM, an ASST. FOM and four full time employees. Your opening day is
"Monday 1st week".
You, in collaboration with your Housekeeping manager, have established the SOP for the
cleaning of the rooms. After checking the SOP, you have figured out that the cleaning of a
junior suite will take 45 minutes for departures, 35 minutes for stayovers and 10 for the
turn-down service. For the suites, it will take 65 minutes for departures, 50 minutes for
stayovers and 15 minutes for the turn-down service. Starting and finishing activities will
account for 10 minutes per shift. Considering that your housekeeping team has a labor
relations agreement that establishes a maximum of 8 working hours per day, with 15
minutes break for a snack, and 30 minutes for lunch or dinner, how many GRAS would you
need to clean the rooms in the first week? Their salary is 9€ per hour: how much will be the
labor cost of the week in terms of GRAS?
You have been asked to establish the minimum and maximum inventory levels for the
guest supplies. Assume that in high season you are going to be fully booked from Monday
to Sunday and that amenities are to be replaced daily. The performance standard
establishes the following set up of each room as follows:
-
2 gels
2 shampoos
2 soaps
2 body-milks
In each box of each type, you receive 250 units. The leading time for the delivery is 20 days,
and you order monthly. At the moment, your safety level is established at one box of each
item. Do you think you need to change it?
