The main responsibility of a hotel front desk manager is to check guests in and out. They verify guests’ registration information and take any further information required, such as identification and period of stay and take cash or process credit cards. Once they have gone through all these procedures, they hand the room key to the guests and guide them to their rooms. When a guest is about to check out, a front desk manager will ensure that all dues are clear and the key is handed over. The front desk agent will also ensure the lobby and certain public spaces stay clean. Working at the front desk of a hotel can be quite rewarding. You get to meet people from different walks of life and stay busy at all times.
